Description

Adults reach a length of about 6 mm. They are red, with a black head and cerulean elytra. The head is punctate on both sides and reddish at the apex. The prothorax is rounded at the apex, not at all attenuated, then sub-obliquely enlarged towards the base, at this point wider at the apex by about a third, scarcely more convex, with no discoidal depressions, above the scutellum impressed in the middle of the base, densely covered with almost sub-foveolate dots, the middle part of the disc narrowly punctured. The scutellum is sub-rufescens, impressed posteriorly. The elytra run almost parallel to the prothorax, longer by a quarter, deeply punctate-striate. The body moderately punctate beneath.^[2]
