Moderately elongate, piceous, the prothorax usually with a darker median vitta, the legs (the anterior femora and claws excepted) and antennæ (the club excepted) more or less ferruginous; densely, uniformly clothed with shining chalky-white scales, those on the under surface with a faint cupreous tinge. Head and rostrum together not longer than the prothorax, somewhat sparsely punctate, the rostrum flattened, emarginate at the tip, obsoletely canaliculate, the nasal plate triangular; eyes depressed. Prothorax broader than long, rather convex, feebly constricted at the sides before the apex, closely punctate; vibrissæ long, few in number. Elytra very little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in ♂, widened to beyond middle in ♀ and with the suture subangulate towards the apex (seen in profile) in this sex, the base slightly hollowed, the humeri obliquely truncate; finely, conspicuously punctate-striate, the interstices almost flat. Anterior tibiæ moderately long, curved, denticulate, pilose, and sharply unguiculate, the intermediate pair also with a minute claw in ♂.

Length 4½—6, breadth 1 2/5—2 millim. (♂ ♀.)
