Adults reach a length of about 7–7.8 mm. The surface of the labroclypeus and the disc of the frons are glabrous. The smooth area anterior to the eye is twice as wide as long. [3]

Etymology

The species name is derived from Latin longus (meaning long) and penis (the male copulation organ) and refers to the long parameres of the species. [3]
