“Pronotum: Red to dark red, light markings creamy yellow to light orange, rather sharply delimited. Light markings as follows: two elongate, oblique basal spots that are narrowly joined; a broad lateral margin (narrowed by an arm of central dark area); and a narrow apical margin. Punctation dual, larger punctures minute to small; at side with an irregular depression. Elytra: Creamy yellow to light orange, dark markings and punctures dark red, sharply delimited. Dark markings of each elytron as follows: on entire second interval, on fourth interval interrupted once before apex, at basal third of sixth and seventh intervals (including humerus), with anteapical and apical spots on seventh interval; and a basal spot on eighth stria. With eight rows of punctures (could be interpreted as seven) sixth and seventh rows interrupted medially, both more or less confused, sixth much reduced; punctures a little larger than usual, finer to apex; inner and outer rows distinct at apex, usually clearly meeting. Prosternum: Anterior margin in both sexes produced into a slight lobe. Length: 4.8 to 5.4 mm” (White, 1968: 87).
