Description
Elongate; subdepressed; shining; head, antennae, pronotum, and legs black, scutellum and elytra yellowish, venter yellowish. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial carina present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate; 2–3 elongate, subequal in length, shorter than 1; 4 ¾ length of 3, elongate; 5 shorter than 4; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 2× length of 10, acutely pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate at base then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc moderately convex; surface sparsely punctate, punctures more dense laterally and basally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.7 mm; pronotal width 2.0–2.2 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; sparsely punctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; slightly convex, slightly flattened along suture; punctate-striate, punctures more impressed basally and laterally; elytral length 5.3–5.8 mm; elytral width 2.9–3.2 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 sinuate medially in male, entire in female. Leg: slender; punctate; femur and tibia with pale seta in each puncture; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.1–7.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia luridipennis. It can be distinguished by the pronotum lacking a transverse basal impression and by antennomere 1 being longer than 2.
Distribution
Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru.
