Description. Male.
Integument reddish-brown; with yellowish-white pubescence and yellowish erect setae.
Head.
Frons finely rugose; with short setae near ocular margin and antennal tubercles. Antennal tubercles with surface glabrous, contiguous and abruptly elevated at apex. Area between upper eye lobes rugose, with sparse, shallow punctures slightly larger and shallow than on elytra; erect and elongate setae sparsely distributed. Gulamentum with elongate, sparse erect setae. Scape coarsely rugose. Antennal formula (ratio) based on length of antennomere III: scape = 0,55; pedicel = 0,14; IV = 1,05; V =1,15; VI = 1,13; VII = 0,93; VIII = 1,01; IX = 0,97; X= 0,96; XI = 0,95; XII=0,94.

is easily differentiated from

Galileo & Martins, 2001
by the reddish-brown integument without spots on the elytra.

has reddish integument on the head and prothorax, antennae and legs are yellowish and the elytra are reddish, gradually yellowish toward apex, and with yellowish spots.
