This greenish-brown shieldbug (9.5-11mm) is covered in dark punctures. The antennae are distinctively banded with the final two segments mostly black. There is a pale tip to the scutellum, a banded connexivum and a rather concave edge to the pronotum behind the eyes. Rarely recorded with most historic sightings likely to be migrants.
