Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; black; pronotum, scutellum, and abdomen testaceous; elytra with reddish tinge at humeri. Head: vertex sparsely punctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes.

Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate then rounding to anterior angle, margined, very finely serrulate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, irregularly punctate, punctures more dense laterally and basally; disc nearly impunctate; transverse basal impression present; pronotal length 1.3 mm; pronotal width 2.0 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, moderately margined, finely serrulate below humerus; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, slightly produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; subconvex; moderately punctate-striate, punctures obsolete apically; with medial longitudinal depression on disc; elytral width 4.2 mm; elytral width 2.2 mm.

Diagnosis
This species falls into a group of bicolored species with pronotum yellowish or reddish which includes Cephaloleia amazona, Cephaloleia princeps, Cephaloleia steinhauseni, Cephaloleia susanae sp. n., and Cephaloleia teutonica. It can be distinguished from all of these species by the sinuate lateral margins of the pronotum, by the finely serrulate lateral margin of the elytra below the humerus, and the immaculate pronotum.
Distribution
Peru.
