Description
Elongate; flattened; subparallel; reddish-yellow with head (except yellow frons), antennae (except antennomeres 10–11), all margins of pronotum, and sutural and lateral vittae of elytra black; elytra with lateral margin black; venter with prosternum black, mesosternum yellow medially, black laterally, metasternum black, abdominal sterna yellow with black margin; leg with femur yellow with base and apex dark. Head: vertex striate-punctate, faint medial carina present; frons slightly projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; robust; antennomere 1 elongate, robust; 2–4 compressed, triangular, subequal in length, each shorter than 1; 5–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 4; 11 pointed at apex, 2× length of 10; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin converging to anterior angle; anterior angle acute; posterior angle rounded; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc flattened; surface punctate; widest at base; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.7–1.9 mm; pronotal width 2.0–2.6 mm. Scutellum: acutely triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, margined, smooth; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 edged with faint carina; punctures shallow; punctures larger and deeper on disc; elytral length 5.7–7.3 mm; elytral width 2.7–3.3 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, rounded in female. Leg: slender; femur robust; tibia dentate at apex, with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 8.0–9.6 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia bella, Cephaloleia luctuosa, and Cephaloleia vicina. It can be distinguished by the vertex of the head not being depressed between the eyes, by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being complete, by the impunctate pronotum, and by antennomeres 3 and 4 being triangular.
Host plant
Adults have been collected in Heliconia sp. (Heliconiaceae) leaf rolls (Staines 1996[6]); Calathea lutea Schult. (Marantaceae), Heliconia imbricata Baker (Heliconiaceae) (Schmitt and Frank 2013[14]).
Distribution
Costa Rica, Panama.
