Beetles are flightless and lack flight wings, but the elytra are not fused. The elytra are oval shaped, and completely lacking pale maculations. The dorsum is dark, usually black or brown, but may also have a frosted blue, violet, grey or green sheen. The legs and tarsi are clothed in decumbent setae.
