Description
The average body length is about 17.5 to 22.3 mm and the body has a wide and rounded shape from a dorsal view. The pronotum is hexagonal in shape with 4 spots marking it. In males, each elytron is truncated at the apex, but in females, the elytra are elongated, and are convex at the apex. In India, the beetle was collected in Keoladeo National Park on the semi-dry carcass of mongoose, and on dry soil in a pasture field.
