Re-description. Body length 6.8–13.2 mm. Coloration uniformly ferruginous or yellowish-brown to chestnut brown; body integument dull or with slight oily shine, with dense, recumbent to semirecumbent yellowish setae.
Head 0.70–0.80 times as wide as pronotum; integument with dense to very dense granulation. Distance between inner edges of antennal insertions 0.45 times as great as that between mandibular bases (Fig. 17). Eyes moderately large, slightly convex (Figs 17, 42).
Antennae comparatively long, moniliform (Figs 29–35), reaching posterior quarter of pronotum. Antennomere 3 elongate, thickened apically, 1.6–1.9 times as long as wide and about 1.5–1.7 times as long as antennomere 4. Antennomeres 4–8 strongly thickened apically, 1.1–1.2 times as long as wide. Antennomeres 9–10 about 1.0–1.2 times as long as wide. Antennomere 11 about 1.3–1.8 times as long as antennomere 10. Orifices of sensory cavities of antennomeres 9–11 strongly transverse, slit-like (Fig. 35).
Pronotum 1.25–1.35 times as wide as long at midline, widest before middle or about at midlength, sides slightly to moderately convex and more or less sinuate at posterior angles; disc convex, with distinct median groove in posterior half or third and sometimes with weak roundish impression each side at middle. Lateral carinae nearly always complete and more or less bent anteriorly (Fig. 42). Posterior angles slightly divergent, subtruncate at apex. Integument with granules moderately dense at middle and becoming denser and more prominent towards sides and apex; interspaces between granules at middle 1–3 times as wide as granules. Prosternum and prohypomera covered with granules moderately dense, interspaces between granules 1–3 times as wide as granules.
Elytra 2.25–2.35 times as long as wide combined and 3.30–3.50 times as long as pronotum. Elytral striae distinctly impressed, with strong, coarse and dense punctures. Interstriae subequal, slightly convex to nearly flat; integument with fine and moderately sparse to sparse granulation; interspaces between granules 1–3 times as wide as granules.
Granulation of metaventrite and visible portion of metepisterna somewhat finer and about as dense as that on prosternum.
Legs moderately long; tarsi long and slender; metatarsus 0.9 times as long as metatibia (Figs 52, 53).
Abdominal ventrites at middle with granules fine and sparse, becoming denser on ventrite 5; interspaces between granules at middle 2–4 times as wide as granules.
Male. Ventrite 5 as in Fig. 60. Tergite VII (pygidium) subtriangular and apically narrowly rounded (Fig. 64). Sternite 9 narrowly rounded at apex (Fig. 66). Aedeagus as in Figs 75–85.
Female. Ventrite 5 as in Fig. 61. Abdominal segment VIII as in Fig. 95; sclerites of sternite VIII moderately large, solid and strongly sclerotized (Fig. 95).
Distribution. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya (Muona 2007), Spain (Iberian Peninsula, Tenerife) (Fuente 1930; Cobos 1959), France, Italy (Muona 2007), Croatia (Muona 2007), Greece (Muona 2007), Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan (Reitter 1921), Uzbekistan (new country record).
