Description
Elongate; subconvex; subparallel; head, antennae, and pronotum black; elytra yellow with black sutural vitta at base extending to puncture row 3 then narrowing to only suture and darkened after middle; venter with pro-, meso-, and metasterna red medially, dark laterally; legs yellow. Head: vertex densely punctate, faint medial carina present; keel present between antennae; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: more than ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 thickened, subequal in length to 2; 2 elongate; 3 elongate, as long as 1 and 2 combined; 4–10 elongate, decreasing in length; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: slightly wider than long; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, strongly margined; anterior angle slightly produced, rounded; posterior angle angulate; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; disc strongly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.7–1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.1–1.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately convex; shallowly punctate-striate; puncture rows complete; elytral length 3.3–4.0 mm; elytral width 1.9–2.3 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin u-shaped in male, ovoid in female. Leg: slender; femur punctate on top; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.4–5.4 mm; females are larger than males.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia balyi, Cephaloleia deficiens, Cephaloleia linkei, and Cephaloleia suturalis. It can be distinguished by the yellowish pronotum with black longitudinal vitta and by antennomere 3 being larger than 1 and 2 combined.
Comments
Preliminary analysis of the CO1 gene indicates that cryptic species may be present under the current application of this species name. Further work is needed to resolve this question.
Host plant
Adults have been collected on Costus sp. (Costaceae) (Staines 1996[6]); Renealmia sp. (Zingiberaceae) (McKenna and Farrell 2005[13]); Cephaloleia pulverulentus C. Presl. (Meskins et al. 2008[15]); Cephaloleia bracteatus Gleason, Cephaloleia laevis Ruiz and Pav., Cephaloleia malortieanus H. Wendl. (García–Robledo and Horvitz 2009[17]); Cheilocostus speciosus (J. Koenig) C. D. Specht (Costaceae).
Immatures

Pronotum surface of central elevation micropustulate; with two diagonal carinae laterally extending to lateral margin, carinae wide at base, narrowing apically to sharp point; surface laterally punctate. Meso- and metanota with base elevated, sloping back to apex, narrowing laterally into sharp point; punctate laterally. Abdominal tergites 1–6 wider than long, decreasing in width; base elevated, sloping back to apex, ending in sharp point; punctate laterally. Tergites 7–9 with two diagonal carinae on each side which extend to lateral margin. Spiracles just off central elevation, with margins darkened. Venter with surface of expansions punctate, rugose-striate. Head surface rugose-punctate; labrum with surface alutaceous, without setae; clypeus with fringe of long setae at apex, with four setae on apical ½, surface alutaceous; mandibles tridentate; maxillary palps with 2 palpomeres and short, robust setae at apex; maxilla robust, clavate, with fringe of long setae at apex; labium densely setose. Antenna with antennomere 1 short, robust; 2 narrower than 1, transverse; 3 elongate, cylindrical, narrower than 2, with fringe of short setae at apex. Pro- and mesosterna wider than long; slightly depressed medially; surface rugose-striate. Metasternum longer than others; depressed medially; with suture along apical margin. Abdominal sternites 1–8 wider than long; decreasing in width; laterally with curved sulcus dividing the sternite into thirds; sterna 9–10 fused, rounded at apex. Leg: femur short, robust; tibiotarsus subconical, with a strong claw and eight setae at apex. Total length:6.4–6.7 mm; width 4.3–4.4 mm. (García–Robledo et al. 2010[20]).
Biology
Eggs are about 2.5 mm long and are laid singly or in clusters of two or more on host plant petioles, the surface of bracts, or the inner surface of inflorescence bracts and are covered with frass. Eggs hatch in 10 to 14 days. The larvae have two instars the first lasting 10 to 18 days and the second 36 to 48 days. The pupal stage lasts 14 to 20 days. Adults live about 157 days (García–Robledo et al. 2010[20]).
Distribution
