This species is distinguished by the following combination of characters: pronotal surface without setae; body colour uniform, reddish­brown with cupreous red or green metallic reflections, meso­and metafemora not yellow in their central part; setae of the apex of the metatibia always thick, forming a comb, stiff, always the same size and with fine setae alternating within them and with a size never exceeding 2.5 times the size of the stiff setae; elytra surface much sharpened and punctate; males have small teeth at the base of the head; short, broad, massive clypeal horn; a very square angle exists between the clypeal tooth and the gena; pronotal male process with lamellae that point slightly inwards and upwards.
