Scutellum smooth and triangular. Elytra rather deplanate, widest at the base, ~ 1.3 x as long as wide and ~ 4.3 x as long as pronotum; sides feebly sinuate and narrowed or subparallel to the anterior 2 / 5, and then arcuately attenuated to the apex, but the attenuation somewhat angulate near the apex; sutural margin not elevated entirely; humeri slightly prominent; basal depressions along the base transverse; lateral carinae subparallel to the lateral margin; disk constricted behind humeri, narrowly and obsoletely impressed along the inferior side of each lateral carina; surface rather uniformly but coarsely punctate with shallow, ill-defined, irregularly sized punctures, with the punctuation being somewhat rugous at the sides; ornamentation consisting of white, yellowish-grey, and blackish hairs, with the whitish hairs being predominant. Ornamentation consisting of white pubescence arranged on each elytron as follows: at base with two irregular spots, at mid length near suture with one irregular spot, toward side with one narrow, wavy, and irregular strip, on posterior half with three transverse bands, anterior one obliquely zigzag, two posterior ones transversely straight. Body beneath scattered with very fine inconspicuous cinereous hairs. Prosternal process inverted trapezoidal, narrow toward the base, ~ 1.3 x broader than long, with the apex almost truncate. Metasternum slightly convex coarsely punctate with variolate and obsolete punctures at the middle. Abdomen beneath rather uniformly punctate with shallow, obsolete variolate punctures.

Sternite VIII wide, roundly arcuated along anterior margin, furnished with several setae on each side of anterior margin.
