The head, frons, and posterior part of the clypeus are fairly densely punctured, while the anterior part of the clypeus is sparsely punctured. The antennae are reddish-yellow. The elytra have rows of punctures, with the intervals flat and covered in fairly dense punctures. The pygidium is moderately closely punctured.
