The profemur in the male is armed with a single large blunt-tipped distiventral projection that is curved upward and inward. A small oval setose sensillum is present mid-ventrally at a distance from the base of the disti-ventral projection that is subequal to the distance between the disti-ventral projection and the tibial articulation. The profemur of the female is armed with single long, pointed and parallel-sided disti-ventral projection.

A distinct species that is recognized by the short broad posthumeral denticles, the distinctly narrowed elytra and the densely punctured elytral interspaces and intervals. The males are recognized by the postocular and postlabial spines. The specific epithet is in reference to the prominent postocular spine like projection.
