Head reddish, with dark band along eyes and infuscation on frons between eyes; pronotum reddish brown, laterally broadly testaceous; elytra brown, with very broad, irregularly shaped, transverse basal orange band. Pronotum with few short longitudinal strioles laterally. Each elytron with 11 superficially impressed discal striae: sutural stria usually strongly reduced to few short strioles, or almost absent in some specimens; all striae abbreviated posteriorly, striae 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 ending in posterior fourth of elytral length, striae 4, 6, 8 and 11 reaching apical fourth of elytral length; striae 7 and 9 often fragmented to strioles throughout their length (Fig. 27).

Paramere slender ‘C’-shaped; apex slender; apical lobe long, club-shaped (Fig 70). Female similar to male; strioles on pronotum more numerous, elytral striae more impressed.
