"Pronotum: Black throughout, shining; punctation dual, moderate in density. Elytra: Basal half of each elytron bright red throughout (type) or with vague to distinct black markings near scutellum, at most with intervals one to four black at base; apical half of elytron black with large, bright red spot at apex; basal and apical red spots never meeting. With eight rows of punctures (sometimes evidently nine), rows five, six, and seven confused, punctures as large and distinct as usual though sparser than usual, finer apically as usual; inner and outer rows distinct at apex and usually clearly meeting. Prosternum: Anterior margin in male produced into a short, distinct, rather sharp spine; anterior margin in female produced into a short, rather broad lobe. Length: 4.2 to 5.0 mm" (White, 1968: 35).
