Description
Adults reach a length of about 9 mm. They have a rather narrow and elongate, brown, shiny body. The upper surface is densely covered with rather long, mostly erect setae. Some setae on the elytra and pronotum stand out somewhat more than the others. The underside is densely covered with appressed, light-coloured, somewhat finer setae.[3]
