Description Adults reach a length of about . They are easily recognizable by their strongly notched pronotum, the claws are almost entirely equally divided, the upper tip being only very slightly more pointed. Furthermore, the first tarsal segment is scarcely a little shorter than the second. The pronotum is coarsely punctate, the punctures are large, round, sharply defined, and impressed down to the blurred posterior margin, then surrounded by a duller impression, which is interrupted anteriorly by the backward-pointing, tiny, bristle-like scales, giving it a kidney-shaped appearance. The punctures on the elytra lack the sharp border.
