Uhmann 1964a[2]: 402 (catalog); Sanderson 1967[3]: 137 (noted); Gaedike and Döbler 1971[4]: 343 (types); Staines 1996[5]: 17 (Central America species), 1997[6]: 413 (Uhmann species list), 1999[7]: 242 (mimicry), 2008[8]: 1 (key), 2009a[9]: 21 (noted); Piña et al. 2004[10]: 106 (faunal list).
Description
Oval; convex; bright metallic blue; antennae and legs yellow; venter black. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to hind margin of pronotum; slender; antennomeres similar in appearance; 1–2 subequal in length, transverse; 3 elongate, as long as 1–2 combined; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 11 pointed at apex, as long as 3; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin almost straight on basal ⅓, then rounding to anterior angle, strongly margined; anterior angle projecting, narrow; posterior angle angulate; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc convex; surface finely and moderately punctate; weak impression present on each side; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.8 mm. Scutellum: triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin smooth, finely margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; convex; with fine, dense punctures; scutellar row long; puncture rows converge and unite on apex; interspaces convex; elytral length 3.7 mm; elytral width 2.5 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna finely punctate, each puncture with short setae; last sternite with apical margin rounded, weakly emarginate on each side in female; pygidium broadly rounded, finely punctate; last sternite with apical margin shallowly emarginate in male, weakly rounded in female. Leg: slender; protibia with longitudinal groove beneath; tarsi and apex of tibia bright brown; femur robust, punctate; tibia incised at apex, with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.8 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia sandersoni. It can be distinguished by the densely punctate vertex of the head, by the evenly arcuate lateral margins of the pronotum, and by antennomere 1 being clavate and twice the length of 2.
Distribution
Cuba.
