Short, egg shaped, brown body; the head, front and side rims of the flat pronotum, and three cross bands on the elytra, bright yellow; narrow, smoothly curved interspaces. [Translated from the original German in Suffrian, 1858].
“Pronotum: Light orange with a transverse, sharply delimited, red to nearly black band, pointed on each side, nearly or quite attaining lateral margin. Elytra: Light orange, each elytron with two broad, transverse bands and apical tip red to dark red; dark bands sharply delimited, leaving usually narrower orange bands at base, middle, and before extreme apex. With seven or eight rows of pigmented punctures, fourth to eighth rows often reduced, especially within median orange band; punctures larger, sparser than usual, finer at elytral apex; inner and outer rows distinct at apex, clearly meeting. Prosternum: Anterior margin in male rather distinctly produced into a usually pointed lobe; anterior margin in female rather weakly produced into a broad lobe. Length: 3.0 to 4.6 mm” (White, 1968: 93-4).
