Description
Adults reach a length of about 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in). They are black. The elytra are wholly or partly brown and the pygidium is covered with yellow scales. The scaling of the upper surface is variable. There may be white hair-like scales that form three longitudinal bands on each elytron, but these bands may also be shortened to form a forward-facing arc and finally, some specimens have no bands, but fine grey hairs across the entire surface.
