Description

The average length is about 2.07–2.50 mm. The body is dull yellow-brown in color and covered with short, semi-erect, golden pubescence. The head is broader than it is long, and the width across the eyes is less than the width of the pronotum across anterior angles. The eyes are extremely large and prominent, but the temples are very small (shorter than an eye facet). The antennae have segments 1–6 slightly more elongate. The prothorax is convex and elongated. The anterior angles of the pronotum are produced into spines about half as long as the eyes. The vertex of the head and the pronotum are covered in coarse and dense punctures. The scutellum is moderately large, transverse and pubescent. The elytra are about twice as long as broad and widest near the middle.
