Description
Subelongate; subparallel; subdepressed; head, antennae, pronotum (except paler lateral margins), and scutellum shining black; elytra yellow with apical ½ black, suture darkened at base; venter black, legs dark yellowish. Head: vertex finely, sparsely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons with longitudinal sulcus, not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: ½ body length; robust; antennomere 1 subclavate, incrassate, longer than 2; 2 cylindrical, ¾ length of 1; 3–4 cylindrical, elongate, subequal in length, longer than 2; 5–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 4; 11 2× 10, rounded at apex; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface strongly irregularly punctate, less so on disc; transverse impression present just behind middle, obsolete medially; pronotal length 1.3–1.5 mm; pronotal width 1.6–1.8 mm. Scutellum: broadly pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; flattened at suture; puncture rows near suture nearly obsolete apically, otherwise moderately punctate-striate; elytral length 4.4–4.8 mm; elytral width 2.2–2.6 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; pygidium truncate-emarginate; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate and sinuate medially in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; punctate; femur and tibia with pale seta in each puncture; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.0–6.4 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia apicalis. It can be distinguished by the elytral punctures along the suture being obsolete near the apex.
Distribution
Brazil (São Paulo), Ecuador.
