Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; black; pronotum yellowish with large apical macula and smaller basal macula; elytra with narrow marginal line just below middle and longitudinal vitta on disc yellow; venter black; legs yellowish, tarsi and tibio-femoral joint black. Head: vertex finely punctate, medial carina present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches beyond humerus; robust; antennomere 1 incrassate, longer than 2; 2 cylindrical, shorter than 1; 3 cylindrical, elongate, as long as 1 and 2 combined; 4–5 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–7 punctate with scattered setae; 8–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight, narrowing then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal width 0.9–1.1 mm; pronotal width 0.9–1.1 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded, smooth; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate; interspaces slightly elevated laterally; elytral length 3.0–3.5 mm; elytral width 1.1–1.4 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate medially in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; punctate; femur with row of setae on inner margin; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.6–6.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia pulchella and Cephaloleia saundersii. It can be distinguished by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being complete.
Host plant
Adults have been collected feeding on Heliconia psittacorum Sw. (Heliconiaceae) (Remillet 1988[10]).
Distribution
French Guiana, Amazonas.
Type material examined
Holotype: Cayenne [handwritten label]/ Baly coll. [printed label]/ Cephalolia eximia Baly, Cayenne [blue handwritten label] (BMNH).
