Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; head, pronotum, scutellum, and apical ½ of elytra black; elytra with basal portion yellowish; venter yellowish. Head: vertex punctate, medial carina present; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 clavate, slightly incrassate, elongate, longer than 2; 2 thicker than 3, ¾ length of 3; 3–5 subequal in length, each longer than 2; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 longer than 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin sinuate basally then rounding to anterior angle, slightly canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin nearly straight; disc subconvex; surface sparsely punctate, punctures more dense basally; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.3–1.5 mm; pronotal width 1.5–1.7 mm. Scutellum: broadly pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded, smooth; sutural angle emarginate, without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.5–4.8 mm; elytral width 2.1–2.4 mm. Venter: prosternum punctate; meso- and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, sinuate laterally in female. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.0–6.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia apicalis and Cephaloleia fulvipes. It can be distinguished by the pronotum having a transverse basal impression.
