Description
Elongate, elytra slightly expanding apically; depressed; black, often with golden, bluish or green sheen; shining; small. Head: vertex with faint medial sulcus, alutaceous; frons impunctate, not projecting; keel present between antennal bases; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: more than ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 subglobose, shorter than 2; 2–3 elongate, subequal in length; 4–5 subequal in length, elongate, each shorter than 2; 6–10 subequal in length, elongate, each shorter than 5; 11 pointed at apex; 1 impunctate; 2 with scattered punctures; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal 4/5 then rounded to anterior angle, broadly margined; anterior angle rounded with small acute tooth; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; with sulcus parallel to lateral margin from near posterior angle to near anterior angle; disc convex; surface alutaceous with scattered punctures; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.9 mm; pronotal width 1.4 mm. Scutellum: triangular; punctate. Elytron: lateral and apical margins smooth; lateral margin straight, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle with small tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; subconvex; shallowly punctate-striate, punctures near suture indistinct; elytral length 3.0 mm; elytral width 1.7 mm. Venter: pro- and mesosterna punctate; metasternum impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna irregularly punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin truncate, slightly sinuate on either side in female. Leg: sparsely punctate; femur and tibia with row of setae on inner margin; tibia with tuft of setae at apex. Total length: 4.0–4.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is easily distinguished from all other known Cephaloleia by the distinct sulcus parallel to the lateral margins of the pronotum.
