Description
Adults reach a length of about 12.5 mm (0.49 in). Males are dark chestnut-brown and sub-opaque, with the antennae light chestnut. Both the head and clypeus are roughly and closely punctured. The pronotum is covered with round, shallow punctures separated from each other by a smooth space equal to their own diameter, and the outer margin has a fringe of moderately long, fulvous hairs. The elytra are coriaceous rather than punctate, and the suture is tectiform. The pygidium is glabrous and faintly punctate (except at the apex).
