Each elytron with four spots/short fasciae, background black with bluish reflections.
Known only from the type series and a single collection made two years earlier at the same place, Puttapa Gap, S of Copley in the northern Flinders Ranges. It has not been collected subsequently despite much searching of the recorded host plant species, a paperbark tea-tree that is widespread in creek-lines of the northern Flinders Ranges and other arid areas.
