Description
Elongate; subparallel; subconvex; shining black, elytral and pronotal margins, legs, and abdominal sterna pitchy-brown; antennomeres 1–2 pitchy-brown, 3–11 darker. Head: vertex punctate, with longitudinal carina; eyes strongly convex; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate; 2 elongate, shorter than 1; 3 longest; 4 shorter than 2; 3–6 cylindrical; 7–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 4; 11 subequal in length to 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, serrulate, margined; anterior angle broadly rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface with coarse punctures laterally and fine punctures throughout, longitudinal medial line almost impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0–1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.3–1.4 mm. Scutellum: cuneiform; acutely pointed at apex; alutaceous. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded, serrate; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, punctures becoming confused apically; elytral length 3.2–3.7 mm; elytral width 1.5–1.8 mm. Venter: pro- and mesosterna punctate; metasternum impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin truncate in female, deeply emarginate medially in male. Leg: slender, short; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex; tarsi short; tarsal claw slightly projecting from tarsomere 3. Total length: 4.5–5.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia depressa, Cephaloleia donckieri, Cephaloleia tarsata, and Cephaloleia zikani. It can be distinguished by the lack of a medial fovea on the vertex of the head, by the serrulate lateral margins of the pronotum, by the serrulate apical margins of the elytra, by antennomere 1 being incrassate, and by the larger size.
