MEASUREMENTS. Length: 7.5 mm. Width: 4.5 mm.
HEAD. Reddish-brown, surface without setae. Labroclypeus, shape of anterior margin weakly sinuated medially, posteriorly with sparse punctation. Ocular canthus without terminal setae, ratio to eye: 1/4. Antennae with eight antennomeres; antennal club with three antennomeres; ratio antennal club/remaining antennomeres: 1/1.5; ratio third vs fourth antennomere: 1/3; fourth antennomere, lateral projection absent; ratio fifth vs fourth antennomere: 1/5.
PRONOTUM AND ELYTRA. Pronotum unicolored, reddish-brown, widest at middle, anterior marginal line present, posterior marginal line absent, lateral margin weakly convex and not serrated, antero-lateral angle dorso-ventrally not flattened, postero-lateral angle dorso-ventrally not flattened, punctation on disc dense, setae of lateral margin sparse, median longitudinal excavation absent. Scutellum, punctures absent medially. Elytra unicolored, reddish-brown, surface opaque, microsculpture absent, punctation on intervals present, punctation on intervals dense, diameter of strial and interval punctation equal.
ABDOMEN. Lateral carina present. Second visible ventrite with row of setae in medial region. Apical visible ventrite without suture to apical tergite.
