Description
Adults reach a length of about 2.4 to 3.1 mm in length. Its appearance consists of dark splotches on the elytra with lighter splotches on the pronotum. A distinction from Psyllobora vigintimaculata is that the lateral spot in P. borealis is much smaller and always separate from its median spot.
