- Cephalolia hnigrum Pic 1923[1]: 8. Uhmann 1942[2]b: 116 (noted).
- Cephaloleia hnigrum Pic. Uhmann 1957b[3]: 20 (catalog), 1961b: 23 (noted), 1964a[4]: 403 (catalog); Descarpentries and Villiers 1959[5]a: 139 (types).
Description
Elongate; subparallel; large; shining; subdepressed; yellowish-brown; antennae and head black; pronotum black with pale lateral margins; elytra with lateral black vitta and medial black macula; venter and legs yellowish-brown. Head: vertex finely punctate, medial sulcus absent; keel present between antennal bases; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: longer than head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate; 2 elongate, ½ length of 1, shortest; 3–4 elongate, cylindrical, 4 longer than 3; 5–10 cylindrical, each as long as 3, elongate; 11 longer than 4, rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface sparsely irregularly punctate; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.6–1.8 mm; pronotal width 1.6–1.8 mm. Scutellum: elongate pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; declivity beginning just behind humerus along puncture row 7 with weak carina; moderately punctate-striate, rows confused apically; pygidium densely setose; elytral length 5.8–6.2 mm; elytral width 2.3–2.5 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 emarginate in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.8–8.2 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia bifasciata and Cephaloleia recondita. It can be distinguished by the lateral margins of the elytra having black markings which do not extend to puncture row 6 and by the vertex of the head not having a medial sulcus.
Distribution
Ecuador.
