[1] A medium-sized, broadly oval, glossy, yellow-brown (at least in dead specimens) Cassidinae.

The edges of the pronotum and the cover wings form an almost continuous curve.

Both the larvae and the adult (imago) beetles live by eating leaves on nearby plants.

The adult (imago) sits close to the plant and the large flat neck shield and cover wings make the beetle very difficult to detect and it is difficult for predators to reach the vulnerable underside.

The larvae tend to hide under a roof of old feces and plant remains that are attached to the forward bent hindquarters.
