Head—body 205-285 mm (males) and 180-215 mm (females), tail 85-105 mm (males) and 95-110 mm (females); weight 420-550 g (males) and 250-500 g (females). Male Oriental Basin Pocket Gophers are often larger than females, but sexual dimorphism is not as pronounced as it is in other geomyid species. Body size is small for the genus. The Oriental Basin Pocket Gopher has a fusiform body shape typical of all pocket gophers, and it possesses fur-lined cheek pouches that open external to the mouth. Dorsal color is grizzled yellowish brown, with strong mixture of black-tipped hairs imparting a salt-and-pepper appearance. Ventral coloris similar to dorsal color but paler. Anterior surface of each upper incisor has a single medial groove slightly displaced to the inner side of the tooth. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 40 and FN = 76.

There is no specific information available for this species, but all pocket gophers that have been studied eat predominately underground roots and tubers and a limited amount of surface vegetation. The Oriental Basin Pocket Gopher readily invades cultivated fields and is considered an agricultural pest wherever it comes in contact with humans. As in all other pocket gophers, the burrow system is a series of shallow feeding tunnels radiating spoke-like from a deeper, central network that contains one or more nest chambers and several smaller chambers for storage of food or fecal pellets.

There is no specific information available for this species, but the Oriental Basin Pocket Gopher is probably solitary and aggressively territorial. Individuals probably leave their burrow systems only rarely, meaning that their home range is defined by size and extent of their burrow system.
