Description
Small; elongate; subparallel; slender; subconvex; black; elytra with elongate reddish humeral macula. Head: vertex smooth, faint medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 subglobose, short; 2 slightly elongate, obconic, longer than 1; 3 cylindrical, much longer than 2, longest; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 1; 11 longer than 10, pointed at apex; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight for basal ⅔ then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface distinctly punctate with longitudinal medial impunctate line; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.0–1.2 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate; puncture rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.0–3.2 mm; elytral width 1.2–1.4 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin broad and slightly truncate. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with two rows of setae on inner margin and fringe of setae at apex. Total length: 4.0–4.4 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia tucumana. It can be distinguished by antennomere 2 being obconic and by the pronotum having a medial basal impression.
