Description
Elongate; subparallel; flattened; head (except yellow frons) and scutellum black; pronotum yellowish with medial black macula on anterior and basal margins connected by thin black vitta; elytra with yellowish vitta from base to apical ¼ including puncture rows 6–8, lateral margin black; pro-, meso-, and metasterna yellow medially, black at sides; abdominal sterna 1–4 black with yellow margins; 5 totally black; femur yellow with dark apex, tibia darker. Head: vertex impunctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate, 4× length of 2; 2 transverse, short; 3 2× length of 2, with projection on inner apical angle; 4–6 elongate, subequal in length, each shorter than 3 (rest missing). Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then slightly rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle slightly rounded, not projecting; posterior angle angular; anterior margin straight; disc slightly convex; surface with scattered punctures laterally; disc impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.1 mm; pronotal width 1.4 mm. Scutellum: broadly triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; puncture rows little impressed, obsolete on apex; elytral length 4.6 mm; elytral width 2.0 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; male with last sternite with apical margin truncate. Leg: slender; impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.1 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia belti, Cephaloleia consanguinea, Cephaloleia semivittata, Cephaloleia triangularis, Cephaloleia variabilis, and Cephaloleia vicina. It can be distinguished by the elytral puncture rows being obsolete apically, by antennomere 1 being 3 times longer than 3, by the pronotum being punctate laterally, and by the pro-, meso-, and metasterna being impunctate.
Distribution
Panama.
