Description
Elongate; subconvex; antennae, head, and scutellum black; pronotum yellowish with broad medial longitudinal vitta from base to apex; elytra yellowish with broad black sutural vitta which narrows to apex and narrow black vitta from humerus to near apex; legs yellowish with darker joints and tarsi. Head: small; vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; cylindrical; antennomere 1 short; 2 2× length of 1; 3 subequal in length to 2; 4–10 subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 11 2× length of 10, longest, acutely pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: slightly transverse; lateral margin straight, slightly divergent for basal 4/5 then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface irregularly punctate; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 0.8–1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.7–1.9 mm. Scutellum: broadly pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, slightly narrowing apically, smooth, margined; apex rounded; minute tooth present in sutural angle; humerus rounded, slightly produced; shallowly punctate-striate; pygidium exposed, punctate; elytral length 4.3–4.7 mm; elytral width 2.0–2.1 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate medially in male, sinuate 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: 5.9–6.1 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia chica sp. n. It can be distinguished by the larger size and by the medial longitudinal vitta on the pronotum.
Distribution
Bolivia, Peru.
