- Cephaloleia apicenotata Uhmann. Uhmann 1950a[2]: 274 (sculpture), 1957b[3]: 15 (catalog); Gaedike and Döbler 1971[4]: 342 (types); Staines 1997[5]b: 413 (Uhmann species list).
Description
Elongate; subdepressed; subparallel; shining; yellowish-brown; antennae, u-shaped marking on apical ⅓ of elytra, and last sternite with apical margin black. Head: vertex finely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1 and 2 thick, cylindrical; 1 and 3 subequal in length; 2 ½ length of 1; 3–10 elongate; 4–10 decreasing in length, each shorter than 3; 11 slightly longer than 10, acutely pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate then rounding to anterior angle, distinctly margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface irregularly, sparsely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.6 mm; pronotal width 1.6–1.9 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, with broad margin; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; finely punctate-striate; elytral length 4.7–4.9 mm; elytral width 2.1–2.4 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin subrounded, weakly emarginate in female, rounded in male. Leg: slender; punctate; femur and tibia with pale seta in each puncture; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.2–6.6 mm.
Diagnosis
This is a bicolored species with the apical section of the elytra darker. It is most similar to Cephaloleia bicolor and Cephaloleia bicoloriceps. It can be easily distinguished by the sinuate lateral margin of the pronotum.
Distribution
