- Cephalolia fiebrigi Uhmann 1936b[1]: 115. Uhmann 1942[2]b: 94 (noted).
- Cephaloleia fiebrigi Uhmann. Uhmann 1950a[3]: 274 (sculpture), 1957b[4]: 19 (catalog); Gaedike and Döbler 1971[5]: 348 (types); Staines 1997[6]b: 413 (Uhmann species list).
Description
Small; subdepressed; shining; black; lateral margin of pronotum and elytra and tarsi brownish. Head: vertex finely, densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomeres 1 and 2 subequal in length; 1 cylindrical; 2 subglobular; 3 2× length of 2, cylindrical, elongate, more slender; 4 cylindrical, elongate, shorter than 3; 5–10 decreasing in length, becoming transverse; 11 2× length of 10, acutely pointed at apex; 1–5 punctate with scattered setae; 6–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin rounded, smooth, margined; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved posteriorly behind head; disc subconvex; disc with fine, irregular punctures, punctures larger, denser laterally; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 0.4–0.5 mm; pronotal width 1.1–1.3 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex obliquely rounded; sutural angle with small tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; finely punctate-striate, punctures obsolete at apex; elytral length 2.3–2.8 mm; elytral width 1.2–1.4 mm. Venter: prosternum rugose medially, punctate laterally; meso- and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin emarginate in male. Leg: slender; punctate; femur and tibia with pale seta in each puncture; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 3.3–3.7 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia coroicoana, Cephaloleia deplanata, Cephaloleia marantae, and Cephaloleia rufipes. It can be distinguished by the basal impression on the pronotum and by the elytral punctures being distinct basally but obsolete apically.
Distribution
Argentina, Brazil (Matto Grosso), Paraguay.
