Scale­like setae posteriorly on anterior pronotal lobe, transverse sulci, and anterior half of posterior pronotal lobe. Scutellum dark brown, with scale­like setae, punctuate. Hemelytra coloration pattern as in fig. 1. Hemelytra almost reaching abdominal apex. Pleura dark brown except proepimeron brown to light brown and metaepimeron contrastingly light brown; acetabular areas brown to light brown; punctuate; with short, decumbent setae.
