Adults reach a length of about 11 mm. They are brown, but the elytra, underside and antennae are lighter brown. The head is very sparsely covered with somewhat erect light setae. On the pronotum, these setae are scattered, and the elytra are very sparsely covered with them. The underside has rather long hairs, while the hairs on the thorax and pygidium are very long and much finer.[3]
