Cephaloleia basalis Pic, 1926e – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Cephalolia basalis Pic 1926e: 359.

Oblong; shining; flattened; testaceous; elytra black with base reddish; antennae black with antennomeres 1–2 reddish; legs yellowish. Head: vertex sparsely punctate, medial sulcus present; eye slightly convex; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: longer than head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate; 2–4 elongate; 2 ½ length 1; 3 longer than 2; 3–4 subequal in length; 5–10 transverse, decreasing in length, each shorter than 4; 11 missing; 1–2 punctate, with scattered setae; 3–10 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; basal margin biangulate; disc flattened; surface strongly, sparsely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.4 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, moderately margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; subconvex; strongly punctate-striate; elytral length 3.6 mm; elytral width 2.0 mm.
