Dimensions (in mm). Female: Body length 5.89–6.23; head width including eyes 0.98–1.04; vertex width 0.45–0.48; rostral length 1.25–1.47; mesial pronotal length 0.79–0.95; basal pronotal width 1.35–1.39; width across hemelytra 1.48–1.14.
Distribution. Russia (Fareast), Korea (Whole).
Biology. The species is confirmed to feed on the leaves of Quercus aliena during laboratory observations. The species is sometimes attracted to light traps in May in Korea.
Remarks. The specimens from South Korea show a light orange color pattern on the entire pronotum, whereas the ones from the Fareast Russia and North Korea show a dark orange color pattern on the entire pronotum, and a brownish longitudinal stripe on the posterior lobe of the pronotum.
