Adults reach a length of about 9.6–10.8 mm. They have a dark reddish brown, oblong body. The antennal club is yellowish brown. The dorsal surface is dull or weakly shiny and nearly glabrous and the labroclypeus is shiny. [3]

The species name is derived from the combined Latin words, parilis (meaning equal) and forceps (meaning forceps or pincers), with reference to the symmetric parameres of the species. [3]
