Pseudatelus bugs range from 14 to 20 millimetres (0.55 to 0.79 in) depending on the species. The bugs have a typical shield shape body. They are usually from brown to dark brown in colour, with triangular-shaped scutellum.
On female Pseudatelus bugs, the abdominal venter is almost entirely covered by a large, hair-covered opaque area. The long hairs on these areas may accumulate a waxy secretion.[2]
