Adults reach a length of about 19 mm (0.75 in). They are similar to Rufotrichia rufula in stature and colouration, but smaller and with the anterior angles of the pronotum scarcely projecting. The pygidium is almost as long as wide and much more sparsely punctate. The colour is reddish-brown, with the head and pronotum slightly darker.[3]
