Adults reach a length of 15-18 mm and are blackish with greenish reflexes and a yellow band on each elytron. They are brachypterous and mostly nocturnal. On the width of these bands are noticeable a number of slightly darker spots, aligned along the striae. The undyed parties of the elytron are perfectly smooth and uniform.
