Description
Oblong-elongate; subparallel; moderately convex; dull yellow, head, antennae, and scutellum black; elytra yellowish with black hourglass-shaped macula along suture from base to apical ¼; venter black, abdominal sterna yellowish laterally; legs yellow, tarsi darker. Head: vertex punctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate, 2× length 2; 2–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 2× length 10, broadly rounded at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, coarsely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.3 mm. Scutellum: elongate pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; slightly flattened on disc; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; interspaces flattened; elytral length 3.4 mm; elytral width 1.9 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin truncate in female. Leg: slender; impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia lydiae. It can be distinguished by the vertex of the head having a medial sulcus and by the straight lateral margins of the pronotum.
