Descriptive notes. Head-body 88-101 mm, tail 87-114 mm, ear 18-22 mm, hindfoot 19-23 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. Carleton’s Deermouse is medium-sized, with dark brown dorsum, blackish at bases of hairs; sides are snuff brown fading to paler color; and venter is white at tips and blackish at bases. Tail is slightly longer than head-body length, bicolored (dark above and white below), scantily haired, and tufted at tip. Feet are white, with brown strip extended past ankles. Carleton’s Deermouse is morphologically similar to the Brush Deermouse (PF. boyliz), the Nimble-footed Deermouse ( P. levipes ), the Durango Deermouse (P. schmidlyr), and the Sinaloan Deermouse ( P. simulus ), but it can be distinguished by genetic data.
