Most of the body including the trailer body is black, the pronotum and elytra are red, with a broad black longitudinal stripes on both sides of the seam runs on the wing covers, which usually tapers in a wedge-shaped back.

The entire body is protruding hairy black, the hair is a little obliquely backwards. The trunk is relatively long and straight. The sensors are turned in near the middle trunk, the male a little before the middle. The loosely structured, three-pronged probe beam is clearly set off against the scourge sensor. The body shape has penetrated, the neck plate is bent at the sides and significantly narrower than the blade throws.
