Description
[edit]Adults reach a length of about 3.8–4.2 mm (0.15–0.17 in). The head has symmetrically distributed, fine and coarse punctures. The coarse punctures are more abundant on the frons. The clypeus has a small emargination and is weakly gibbous and finely punctate. The pronotum has punctures of two sizes: larger punctures closer near the lateral margins. The posterior angles are rounded. The elytral interstriae are microreticulate and finely punctate. Elytral interstriae eight and ten are more elevated than others.[3]
