Adults reach a length of about 8 mm. They are brown (darker above and lighter below) and thinly tomentose. The pronotum is moderately densely punctate, with the punctures extremely finely setate. The lateral margins have longer setae. The elytra have rows of punctures, with very minute setae, although some individual setae are somewhat more distinct.[3]
