Description: body: elongate-ovate; head triangular, face longish; head smooth, eyes weakly bulging laterally. Two setae should be found above each eye. A small ridge begins just above the front of the eye, travelling towards the base of the scapus.  Mandibles curved, black with orange margins; palpi black with pale tips. Scapus, pedicel, and first following antennomere orange or dark red, rest are dark, with the antennal pubescence beginning on the second antennomere following the pedicel. Head glossy green or blue, as are the elytra and the pronotum. The ventral faces may either be glossy black, or glossy greenish black. Pronotum ovate, nearly circular; lateral margins round, front angles acute, hind angles obtuse. Lateral and basal margins with a small bead, front margin without.  Dorsal surface of the pronotal disk smooth, median line somewhat faint. The dorsal hind angles each have two depressions; one small, triangular, which is just inside of the crook of the hind angle, the other appears almost the same shape, but about three times the length, and is found between the smaller depression and the median line. The humeral shoulders of the elytra are slightly wider than the basal with of the pronotum; shoulders rounded. Lateral margins weakly beaded, apices pointed. Each elytron should have 7-8 well-defined striae, intervals flat. 1-2 small fovea should be found within the 3rd interval as well as the 4th interval on each elytron, all found on the apical half of the elytra.
