Adults reach a length of about 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in). They are shiny, brown and slender. The pronotum is laterally somewhat more distinctly covered with small scale-like hairs, the margin finely toothed. The elytra are uniformly, weakly wrinkled with small scale-like hairs. The pygidium likewise, with a narrow longitudinal stripe. On the abdomen, the fine scales are somewhat more distinct laterally, with a row of weak setae on each segment.[3]
