The pronotum is strongly and rather densely punctate, with a midline that is shortened on both sides and smooth. A distinct marginal ridge is present on each side of the posterior margin. The scutellum is punctate except for an indistinct midline. The elytra are weakly wrinkled, rather densely umbilicately punctate, the punctures bearing minute setae. Ribs are barely noticeable. The pygidium has prominent umbilical punctures and its posterior margin is fringed with yellow cilia. The sparsely punctured underside is brown, the abdomen yellow.
