Description
[edit]Adults reach a length of about 8.5–9 mm. They are nearly identical to Euphoresia bruta, but smaller and the antennae of the males are shorter. The clypeus is densely wrinkled and punctate, covered with strong scales at the base (while bruta has no scales), and the frons also has individual scales. The pronotum is more densely scaled on the sides, and the elytral scales are finer.[3]
