This species can be distinguished by these characters: pronotum has a sub-trapezoidal black spot in the disc and each elytron has four oblong spots and an indistinct spot at posterior one-third of elytral margin. Moreover, the elytra are moderately punctured; and the aedeagal apex is triangular. According to the original description, the spermathecal duct is loosely coiled dozens of times, and with a thicker base.
