The eyes and antennae are black, with the five terminal joints of the latter rufo-fuseous. The elytra are pale rufo-violaceous with a faint metallic reflexion, the posterior spine and a short vitta on the shoulders black. Each elytron has four large ill-defined pale fulvous patches covering nearly the whole of the surface.[3]
