Description
Elongate; subdepressed; shining; reddish-yellow, antennae (except basal antennomere), eyes, and apical ⅓ of elytra darker. Head: vertex sparsely punctate near eyes, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; robust; antennomeres 1–5 laterally subcompressed in male, 2–3 subequal in length, triangular; female with 1 incrassate, 2½ x length of 2; 3 ¾ length of 1; 4–5 subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 6–10 subequal in length, transverse; each shorter than 5; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface finely, sparsely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.9–2.2 mm; pronotal width 2.3–2.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, narrowly margined, smooth; apical margin rounded, smooth; sutural angle emarginate; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; subconvex, somewhat flattened on disc; moderately punctate-striate; elytral length 6.0–6.2 mm; elytral width 2.8–3.1 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; pygidium obtuse; last sternite with apical margin sinuate in male, truncate in female. Leg: punctate; femur robust; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.8–9.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species belongs to a group of species with an immaculate pronotum and the apical portion of the elytra darkened. It is most similar to Cephaloleia fulvipes. It can be distinguished by the elytral punctures along the suture being distinct near the apex.
Distribution
Colombia.
