Description
Adults reach a length of about 6 mm. They are similar to Hybocamenta rufina, but much smaller, but with the same colouration (an infuscate head and scutellum, a reddish prothorax and testaceous elytra). They are paler than H. rufina however. It is a little more parallel, the whole antennae are black instead of flavous, the costules on the elytra are very feebly indicated, and the punctures are proportionately deeper.[3]
