Cephaloleia bicolor Uhmann, 1930c – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Cephalolia bicolor Uhmann 1930c[1]: 34. Uhmann 1936b[2]: 116 (noted).
- Cephaloleia bicolor Uhmann. Uhmann 1957b[3]: 16 (catalog); Gaedike and Döbler 1971[4]: 343 (types); Staines 1997[5]b: 413 (Uhmann species list).
Description
Elongate; subdepressed; shining; black; palps and basal half of elytra and epipleuron yellowish-brown; male with venter black; female with prosternum and base of abdomen reddish-yellow; antennae dark. Head: vertex finely, densely punctate, faint medial carina present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres oblong; 1 elongate; 2 shorter, oval; 3 longer than 2, elongate; 4–5 subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 6–10 each longer than 5; 11 longer than 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, slightly canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface punctate except medial longitudinal line on disc; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0–1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.3–1.5 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, finely margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, punctures becoming obsolete apically; elytral length 4.2–4.6 mm; elytral width 1.9–2.1 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate, 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 sinuate medially in male; truncate in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.5–6.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This is a bicolored species with the apical section of the elytra darker. It is most similar to Cephaloleia apicenotata and Cephaloleia bicoloriceps. It can be distinguished by the straight lateral margin of the pronotum, by antennomere 2 being oval, and by the elytral punctures becoming obsolete apically.
Distribution
Bolivia, Brazil (Matto Grosso), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela.
