Size variation of the paratypes is (N=27) TL 5.0-5.6 mm (av. 5.3 mm); TW 2.9-3.2 mm (av. 3.0 mm). The subbasal elytral band is more or less constantly developed; apical spot is not evident in some specimens. One specimen has the apical portion of the right elytron paler, orange, and there are two small orange postmedial spots on the left elytron.
