Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; reddish; eyes and antennae black; elytral apex with broad, oblique black marking. Head: vertex moderately punctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1–2 elongate, thick; 2 ½ length of 1; 3 subequal in length to 1; 4–5 elongate, decreasing in length; 6–10 transverse, decreasing in length; 11 2× length 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal ¾ then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, strongly punctate, medial longitudinal line impunctate; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 0.8–1.1 mm; pronotal width 1.2–1.5 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; finely punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.2–3.6 mm; elytral width 1.4–1.8 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, sparsely punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete.
