Description
Adults reach a length of about 15–17 mm. They are chestnut-brown and shining, with the club of the antennae flavescent. The head and clypeus are covered with nearly contiguous punctures. The prothorax is covered with somewhat small, round punctures divided by a smooth interval equal in width to their own diameter. The elytra are covered with slightly rugose, unequal punctures very closely set, and having in the dorsal part three geminate punctulate striae.[3]
