Description
Elongate; subdepressed; subparallel; black; pronotum, prosternum, and claws red. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; keel present between antennal bases; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches beyond humerus; slender; antennomeres similar to each other; antennomere 1 transverse, slightly longer than 2; 2 transverse; 3 longer than 1; 4–10 transverse, decreasing in length, each shorter than 3; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; apical margin straight; disc subconvex; disc with scattered, oval punctures, large medial area impunctate; basal impression present medially; pronotal length 0.9 mm; pronotal width 1.0 mm. Scutellum: triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin almost straight, margined, finely toothed; apex rounded; sutural angle with tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; puncture rows converging and uniting apically, except rows 1 and 10; rows 2–5 weakly punctate beyond middle; nearly impunctate at humerus; elytral length 2.7–3.1 mm; elytral width 1.4 mm. Venter: epipleuron wide, impunctate; prosternum punctate; meso- and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna 1–3 punctate laterally; 4–5 setose; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate medially in male, truncate in female; pygidium keeled. Leg: slender; femur punctate each puncture with pale seta; tibia with row of setae on inner margin and fringe of setae at apex, punctate. Total length: 4.0–4.4 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is most similar to Cephaloleia ruficollis and Cephaloleia schmidti. It can be distinguished by the unicolorous elytra and by the vertex of the head not being depressed between the eyes.
