Description
Adults reach a length of about 7.5–9.5 mm (0.30–0.37 in). They are black, with the elytra testaceous red, broadly margined with black outwardly and along the suture in males, redder and not infuscate in females. There is a narrow band of short, sub-squamose hairs along the margins of the pronotum, and as often as not there are two minute patches of similar hairs on the disk. The elytra are clothed with long greyish and black hairs, the former pre-dominating in males, and flavescent in females.
