“ The subspecies anthonyi has been known previously by seven specimens, none of which is fully adult, judging from Hooper's (1952:134) comment that the adult pelage of anthonyi is unknown.

“ Individuals from our series in general resemble specimens of Reithrodontomys mexicanus orinus from the vicinity of Guatemala City but differ from the latter as follows: dorsal pelage brighter (with less suffusion of black) , "peppered" in appearance, shorter and sparser; ears distinctly paler, owing both to the paler color of the skin and the paleness of the hairs inside the pinna; dark tarsal stripe not extending onto hind foot; ears and hind feet uniformly smaller ”
