Ventral face of the body and legs covered with grayish-brown pubescence.   
Antennae two times the length of the body, attaining the apices of the elytra in the distal extremity of antennomere V; antennomere XI one and a half the length of the X. Prothorax with an acute lateral tubercle in the beginning of the posterior fourth; pronotum with a single line of punctures near the posterior border. Elytral apices obliquely emarginate, external angle projected in an acute spine, internal angle not projected. Metatarsomere I slightly longer than II+III. Urotergite V transversely truncate; urosternite V deeply semicircularly emarginate, the apical angles projected in acute spines and the central part with dense tuft of hairs.  
 Female: Antennae reaching the apices of the elytra in the middle of antennomere VI; ovipositor projecting 2.0 mm beyond the elytral apices; urotergite V acute; urosternite V transversely truncate in the apex.
