Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; reddish-yellow; eyes and antennomeres 7–11 dark; elytra with suture and lateral vittae dark. Head: vertex impunctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1–3 compressed in male, 1 incrassate, 2–3 triangular, subequal in length; 1–3 not compressed in female, 1 incrassate, 2–3 elongate, cylindrical, 3 ¾ length of 2; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each ¾ length of 3; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–5 punctate with scattered setae; 6–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; widest just before middle; lateral margin sinuate at base then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, irregularly punctate; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 2.1 mm; pronotal width 2.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal, apex acute; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, narrowly margined; apex rounded, emarginate at suture; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; flattened along suture; moderately punctate-striate, punctures oblong, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.4 mm; elytral width 3.4 mm. Venter: last sternite with apical margin sinuate in male. Leg: slender; impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 9.0 mm.
