Body surface with metallic luster; elytra interspaces between punctures larger than puncture diameter. Body light blue, but elytra darker in male; body light blue, but head and prothorax light green in female. Frons in profile weakly depressed apically; supra-antennal carina in dorsal view broadly rounded, but almost straight apically. Antennae extending beyond the posterior apices of pronotum by apical three antennomeres in male, by apical antennomere in female; antennomere III slightly longer than II; IV distinctly longer than wide, longer than IIIII combined, longer than V. Prothorax widening posteriad; lateral carina of prothorax weakly prominent just behind anterior angles. Anterior lobe of prosternum in profile weakly inclined. Mesial edge of hypomeron carinate anterolaterad. Prosternal spine with subapical tooth; sides at ventral view roundly expanded and anteriorly strongly prominent. Scutellum almost as long as wide or slightly shorter than wide, strongly convex; posterior margin broadly rounded, but apex almost transverse. Mesepisternum not reaching mesocoxal cavity.
