Description

Adults reach a length of about 8 mm. They have a reddish-brown, tomentose, opalescent, elongate-oval body. The clypeus is broad, dull, slightly unevenly punctate, with very faint elevation. The frons is finely punctate and the pronotum is broad, projecting anteriorly, rounded posteriorly with very broadly rounded hind angles, finely punctate.
