Description.

Elongate; small; subparallel; subdepressed; head, antennae, and scutellum black; pronotum red with anterior margin black; elytra dark with pale margins and indistinct reddish macula at humerus; venter with prosternum reddish laterally, meso- and metasterna black, abdominal sterna black; leg yellow with black markings.

Antenna: ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 transverse; 2 transverse, longer than 1; 3 elongate, longer than 1 or 2; 4-10 transverse, each subequal in length to 2; 11 pointed at apex, subequal in length to 3; 1-3 punctate with scattered setae; 4-11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate, widest before middle; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, obtuse, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface deeply but sparsely punctate, disc impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.7-0.9 mm; pronotal width 1.0 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate.
