Description
Adults reach a length of about 6–6.5 mm (0.24–0.26 in). They are black, with a faint metallic tinge on the pronotum. The elytra are chestnut-brown, and have four bands of flavescent, round scales on each side. The scutellum is scaly and the pygidium is covered with a black, sub-velvety coating. The head and pronotum are covered with flavescent hairs, and the latter has a narrow band of not very dense appressed squamose hairs.
