Description
[edit]Adults reach a length of about 6–8 mm. They are black and shiny. Males are iridescent, while females are somewhat dull with intense violet iridescence. The dorsal surface is nearly glabrous, with only a few fine, moderately long, golden setae on the sides of the pronotum. The elytra of the males are glabrous or with a few barely visible, very short, widely spaced setae. These setae are more visible in females, but are only found on the alternate striae.[3]
