Eupholus azureus can reach a length of about 32 millimetres (1.3 in). The elytra are broader than the thorax at the base and pointed at the apex. There are nine rows of large regular deep punctures on each elytron.
Body is moderately elongate, not very shining, the basic color is black. Males have long jaws directed downward from the base, with bifurcated tips and a large yellow or bright orange patch occupying the posterior three-quarters of each elytron. The pronolum is short. The lateral angle of the prothorax is very sharp.
