Adults reach a length of about 8 mm. They are reddish-brown and dull. The pronotum has fairly dense punctation, the punctures with tiny setae and the lateral margins and the anterior margin also have setae. The elytra have rows of punctures and the intervals are sparsely covered with tiny bristled punctures. Some somewhat more distinct bristles are arranged in rows at the outer margins of the alternating intervals.[3]
