The head is roughly and densely punctate, with the clypeus reddish brown and the outer edge more or less raised. The head is dark brown between the eyes. The thorax is punctate, with the points larger and less closely set than those of the head. The scutellum punctate, somewhat elongate, obtuse behind and the elytra have eight or nine shallow furrows occupied with confluent punctures, the interspaces feebly convex and smooth. The pygidium is irregularly, not densely punctured.
