Adults reach a length of about 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in). They are black and the upper surface is covered with brownish or blackish-brown scales, with a pattern of golden-yellow scales near the eyes and on the pronotum. There may be three bands of these scales on the elytra, but they may be reduced to varying degrees. The pygidium, underside and legs are covered with shiny golden scales.[3]
