Adults reach a length of about 9.5–10.5 mm. The upper surface and antennae are dark brown, while the underside and legs are brown. The head, pronotum, scutellum, elytra and underside are fairly uniformly, not very densely, covered with thin and short, light grey setae. On the pygidium, these setae are longer and tufted in the middle of the pygidium.[3]
