Ovate; subconvex; shining; yellowish-brown; head and antennae black; elytra with variable black markings; venter black. Head: vertex finely, densely punctate, medial carina present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; robust, filiform; antennomere 1 longest; 2–10 subequal in length, each ½ length of 1; 11 3× length of 10, acutely pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface irregularly punctate, medial longitudinal line impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.7 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, weakly margined; apex weakly rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, punctures converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.9 mm; elytral width 2.2 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna rugose medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin rounded. Leg: slender, impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.5 mm.
