Description
Adults reach a length of about 1.75 - 2.4 mm in length. Its appearance consists of dark kidney shaped splotches on the elytra with lighter splotches on the pronotum
A distinction from other Psyllobora species is that the splotches on the elytra are more connected with each other, merging into larger confluent patches rather than distinct spots.
