(after Hangay & Zborowski 2010): Hide beetles have compact bodies, are heavily sclerotised and are usually dull grey to black in colour, with sculpturing on the dorsal surface. They are usually 7-20mm in length. The head is strongly deflexed and almost completely concealed from above. The antennae possess 10 segments with a 3 segmented club.
