Dorsal side bright reddish-testaceous, pronotum with a median black macula on posterior margin above scutellum, elytra with 11 black spots, spots on each elytron arranged in a 1-2-2-1/2 pattern, one below anterior margin, two transverse spots arranged just above midline (one lateral and one discal), the second pair positioned around apical third and smaller than the first pair of spots, the last spot sutural and reaching apex; ventral side reddish testaceous except metaventrite medially blackish. Abdominal postcoxal line (Fig. 1b) incomplete with a semi-circular associate line, ventrite 5 apically shallowly emarginate, ventrite 6 slightly more deeply emarginate. Male genitalia (Fig. 1c, d, e, f) with penis guide of tegmen in ventral view (Fig. 1d) basally broadest, progressively narrowed towards a tubularly produced apex, shorter than parameres; parameres with lateral and inner margins covered with dense pubescence.

(Fig. 3a) is orange-yellow to bright red with a pair of black spots on pronotum, often fused into a single marking with a median emargination and 13 black spots on elytra arranged in a 1-3-2-1/2 pattern. The pronotal spots and apical elytral spot are sometimes absent in some examples (Figs 3a, 4a, d). The elytral color pattern is variable with the spots enlarged (Fig. 4c) or posterior two-thirds of elytra black and anterior portion yellowish, with the humeral black spots present (Fig. 4d) or absent. The abdominal postcoxal lines are incomplete with an associate line as in
