Description

Adults reach a length of about 9 mm. The upper surface is dull and the head is black except for the red vertex. The antennae are yellowish-brown. The black pronotum is sparsely punctate and has six faint red spots. The anterior angles have a small group of setae, while the lateral margins are covered with individual setae. The scutellum is black, edged in red. The elytra are brown and punctate-striate, the intervals weakly convex and the lateral margins covered with a few setae. From the middle of the side edges, a wide black band extends towards the seam, reaching it slightly behind the middle, so that the band is directed slightly diagonally backwards.
