Description
Elongate-oval; convex; small; shining; metallic blue; legs, antennae, and mouthparts yellow. Head: vertex impunctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1–2 transverse, 2 longer than 1; 3 elongate, cylindrical, as long as 1 and 2 combined; 4–10 elongate, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse but much narrower than base of elytra; lateral margin sinuate, finely margined; anterior angle with short blunt tooth not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc convex; surface sparsely irregularly punctate; transverse prebasal depression behind disc and longitudinal depression laterally; pronotal length 0.8 mm; pronotal width 1.2 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; micropunctate. Elytron: lateral margin weakly expanding apically, smooth, fringed with setae; apex rounded, with very small teeth; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; punctate-striate, puncture rows obsolete on apex and humerus; elytral length 3.3 mm; elytral width 2.0 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, alutaceous laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia punctatissima. It can be distinguished by the metallic blue coloration and by the elytral puncture rows being obsolete apically.
Distribution
Costa Rica.
