Readily distinguished from other Pseudanilara by the coppery/orange-pink margins of the pronotum that are broadened to the posterior, together with its widespread and prominent dark patent hairs. Predominantly purple to violet, iridescing to green-blue laterally. Pronotum rather convex and relatively narrow compared to elytra, often with blue-green reflections medially.
There are very few collections of this species from SA.

The only known breeding record for this species was obtained by A.M.P. Stolarski who extracted a live adult from the wood of a Eucalypt at Macclesfield in the Southern Mt Lofty Ranges in June 1990.
