Description
Adults reach a length of about 5–6.5 mm (0.20–0.26 in). They are black, with the elytra and legs brownish red. The elytra are clothed with small, round yellow scales. The head and pronotum are punctate and clothed with partly appressed, partly erect flavous hairs, and having a more or less distinct basal band of elongate scales, which also partly fill the posterior part of the longitudinal median groove. The scutellum is clothed with lanceolate scales and the propygidium and pygidium are covered with very minute contiguous scales.
