The pronotum is somewhat longer than in sikkimensis, its anterior angles are slightly projecting. The surface is sparsely and finely punctate, the anterior margin and lateral margins are fringed with long yellow cilia. The scutellum is smooth. The elytra are widely punctate on the disc, more closely punctate on the sides, only the first two primary ribs are clearly marked and bear scattered punctures.
