Description
Adults reach a length of about 11.5–13 mm (0.45–0.51 in). They are testaceous with head and pronotum darker. The lateral borders of the pronotum have outstanding setae and the surface has impunctate areas. The punctures of the disc each contain an M-shaped groove and a small, white seta. The punctures on the elytra have setae similar to those of the pronotum and the spaces between the punctures are almost smooth. The lateral borders have stiff setae.[4]
