Description
Elongate; subdepressed; pale yellow, antennae (except antennomeres 1–2 which are reddish) black; eyes dark. Head: vertex sparsely punctate, with medial sulcus; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 elongate, subequal in length to 2 and 3 combined; 2 transverse, ⅓ length of 1; 3 transverse, ½ length of 2; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each longer than 2; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, slightly canaliculate; anterior angle angulate, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex, flattened laterally; surface sparsely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.5 mm; pronotal width 2.3–2.7 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, slightly laminate; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; disc flattened; punctate-striate, punctures smaller and less impressed apically; interspace behind humerus costate for ½ length; elytral length 4.2–4.4 mm; elytral width 2.7–3.1 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin bisinuate in female, emarginate medially in male. Leg: slender; punctate; femur robust; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.6–6.8 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia aequilata and Cephaloleia dilaticollis. It can be distinguished by the elytra with a costate interspace behind the humerus.
Host plant
Accodring to data adults have been collected from Calathea lutea Schult. (Marantaceae).
Distribution
Brazil (Bahia), Peru, Venezuela.
