Description
Elongate; subdepressed; subparallel; yellowish-brown; head black; antennomeres 1–7 black, 8–11 yellowish; pronotum with black triangular macula just behind head; elytra with basal and apical ⅓ black; tarsi black, tibiae black with pale apex, femora with black base and apex; venter with pro-, meso-, and metasterna yellowish-brown medially, dark laterally, abdomen diffuse black with yellow laterally. Head: vertex with V-shaped sulcus, sparsely and irregularly punctate; keel present between antennal bases; frons punctate, not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; male with antennomere 1 thickened apically with a tuft of setae at apex, 2 with a rounded apical angle, 3 expanded triangular, apex obliquely truncate; female with antennomere 1 slender with tuft of setae at apex, 3 having a pointed inner apical angle; 4–10 cylindrical, decreasing in length; 11 2× length of 10, bluntly rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal ¾ then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, irregularly punctate laterally and basally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.4–1.7 mm; pronotal width 1.6–2.0 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; punctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded, apical margin slightly laminate; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, slightly produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate; elytral length 5.8–6.2 mm; elytral width 2.3–2.6 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally, each puncture with pale seta; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, weakly rounded medially in female. Leg: slender; punctate; femur and tibia with seta in each puncture; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.8–8.2 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia nubila. It can be distinguished by the pro-, meso-, and metasterna being punctate laterally and by antennomeres 4 to 10 decreasing in length.
Distribution
Ecuador.
