| description |
The pronotum is a shiny, glossy reddish-brown color in females (darkening to blackish/black in males), frequently irregularly mottled with white spots; these white markings are emphasized around the base and posterior face of the crest, and along the pale band transversing the pronotum posterior to the crest. The pronotum is low with a short, blunt apex as seen from above. The crest is low and quadrangular, longer than high and set well back, and it is thick and inflated on the anterior and posterior sides. Males have lower crests than the females. Adult females are 7.5 mm long with a width of 4 mm and a height of 4 mm. (Kopp & Yonke, 1974)
