The 5-6mm long adults are black with yellowish pubescence and generally have a somewhat "hunch-backed" posture with the short flattened head hidden below the pronotum (much like Cryptocephalinae). The first four segments of the antennae are yellowish brown and the segments increase gradually and evenly in size toward the tip. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
