Adults reach a length of about 11–12 mm. They are brown, the surface densely covered with grey hairs. The antennae are reddish-yellow. The pronotum is very densely punctate, the punctures with yellowish-grey hairs, but also some erect darker hairs. The elytra are striated and covered with yellowish-grey hairs and some short erect hairs. They show irregular lighter and darker spots and are marked in particular by two larger blackish-brown spots behind the middle next to the suture.[3]
