Description
Subparallel; slender; subconvex; shining; black; elytra and scutellum yellowish-brown; venter and legs yellowish-brown. Head: vertex irregularly punctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 cylindrical, thick, longest, 2× length of 2; 2 transverse; 3 cylindrical, elongate, shorter than 1; 4–5 cylindrical, elongate, shorter than 3; 6–10 subequal in length, transverse, subequal in length to 2; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle weakly rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface densely punctate basally and laterally; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.3–1.5 mm; pronotal width 1.8–2.0 mm. Scutellum: elongate pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, scutellar row long, punctures confused basally and apically; elytral length 6.0–6.5 mm; elytral width 2.3–2.5 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, sparsely punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially. Leg: slender; sparsely punctate; femur and tibia with pale seta in each puncture; tibia with tuft of setae at apex. Total length: 7.9–8.3 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia flavipennis and Cephaloleia neglecta. It can be distinguished by the basal impression on the pronotum and by the margined lateral margin of the pronotum.
