Antennæ pale red, the club elongate. Rostrum short, the head moderately long, the eyes convex, separated by a narrow space which is deeply sulcate above. Thorax rather short; surface finely rugose, with an angulated impression extending across the middle; on each flank deeply obliquely impressed. Elytra rather long, of a yellow colour (when wetted this becomes golden, and is no doubt of that colour during life), margined with dark red at the sides and suture, with a raised oval space at the base on each side of the scutellum; behind these elevations is a transverse band of dark red colour, which is coarsely punctate, the parts behind being nearly smooth.
 
Also described from a single male example. The upper surface of the anterior femur is shagreened; on the front edge towards the extremity there is a tooth, and near the middle are two tubercles placed one above the other. The ventral segments are deplanate on a rather small space, and pubescent, the pubescence at the sides being long and erect.
