Description
Elongate; large; subparallel; subconvex; head, pronotum (except castanaceous lateral margins), antennae, and legs black; scutellum and elytra yellowish. Head: vertex finely, densely punctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1–5 elongate; 1 thickened, ⅓ longer than 2; 2–5 cylindrical; 3 longer than 2; 4–5 subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 6–10 subequal in length, transverse, each shorter than 5; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, strongly punctate, more dense laterally, longitudinal impunctate line on disc; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.7 mm; pronotal width 2.0–2.4 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; subconvex; moderately punctate-striate, punctures rather oval; interspaces flat; elytral length 5.2–5.6 mm; elytral width 2.9–3.2 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 truncate in female, emarginate medially in male. Leg: robust; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.0–7.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia collaris and Cephaloleia neglecta. It can be distinguished by the lack of a transverse basal impression on the pronotum.
Host plant
According to label data, adults have been collected feeding on Heliconia standleyi J. F. Mador. (Heliconiaceae) and Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (Arecaceae).
Distribution
Brazil (Amazonas), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.
Type material examined
Holotype female: Ecuador [handwritten label]/ Buckley [handwritten label]/ Cephalolia flavipennis Baly, Ecuador [blue handwritten label] (BMNH).
