The elytra are widened posteriorly and the suture is distinct. There are three very finely indicated ribs, and between them are bare, somewhat raised, scale-free spots and somewhat lower-lying, finely scaled ones. The scales are small and oval in shape. The entire underside is fairly uniformly densely and finely scaled. The ground colour shows through everywhere.
