Individuals of this species are best told by the narrow pronotal and elytral bases, resulting in a medially constricted body shape (Fig. 9B). The suboviform elytra have deep, distinctly punctate striae and convex discal intervals with glossy surfaces. The antennae are moderately elongate, not submoniliform, with 9th antennomere length 2.3
