Pubescence predominantly black dorsally except for pale-yellow maculae as follows: line present around superior lobes of eyes; broad longitudinal line on each side of pronotum, continuous on elytra from base to apex. Ventral side of body and legs covered with grayish pubescence.

Antennae reaching apices of elytra at base of antennomere V. Prothorax with minute lateral tubercle at beginning of posterior third; single line of minute punctures near posterior margin. Elytra with apices transversely truncate, external angle projecting in acute spine. Punctation moderately scattered on basal ¾, obsolete on apical ¼. Fifth urotergite and urosternite subtruncate at apex. Metatarsomere I as long as II + III.
