Adults reach a length of about 7-7.5 mm. They are very dark, almost blackish-brown (dark brown underneath), slightly dull and opalescent. The clypeus is broad, poorly margined, slightly raised in the middle of the surface, slightly wrinkled, densely punctate with setae behind the anterior margin. The frons is more finely punctate. The pronotum is distinctly projecting forward in the middle anteriorly, the sides slightly rounded, the posterior angles rounded. It is finely and densely punctate.
