Description
This beetle is small (3 mm long). The head and pronotum (thorax) are orange, and the elytra, breast, and abdomen black. The antennae are filiform, orange at the base and blackish towards the apex. The pronotum is transverse (width greater than length) with sides that are strongly rounded with narrow margins, and an antebasal transverse groove. The scutellum is small and the elytra are strongly convex, much wider at the base than the thorax.
