The upper surface is only very sparsely covered with very short, appressed setae, only on the sides of the elytra are the setae somewhat denser. The pronotum and elytra are light and short-ciliate. The underside is not very densely covered with appressed, rather long, fine hairs. On the pygidium, the hairs are considerably denser, longer, and erect.[3]
