Description

Adults reach a length of about 7.8–8.6 mm. They have an oblong-oval body. The antennae are yellow. The dorsal surface is reddish brown, mostly dull (while the labroclypeus is shiny) and nearly glabrous (except for some single setae on the head). [3]

Etymology

The species name is derived from Latin sino (meaning Chinese) and lobus (meaning lobe), as well as Greek bi (meaning two) and refers to the sysmmetric parameres having two lobes. [3]
