Description
Elongate; subparallel; subconvex; shining, yellow; eyes, antennae, and scutellum black; pronotum with black medial vitta; elytra with black lateral and apical maculae. Head: vertex impunctate, with small medial carina; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1–10 cylindrical; 1 elongate, clavate; 2 ½ length of 1, transverse, shortest; 3–4 elongate, 3 ¾ length of 1, 4 shorter than 3; 5–10 transverse, slightly decreasing in length; 11 rounded at apex, 2× length of 10; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal ¾ then rounding to anterior angle, slightly canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface virtually impunctate, a few punctures present laterally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.5 mm; pronotal width 1.6–1.8 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; humerus virtually impunctate; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 not edged with faint carina; moderately punctate-striate; rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.6–5.2 mm; elytral width 2.1–2.3 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 rounded in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; sparsely punctate; tibia with fringe at apex. Total length: 6.3–7.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia daguana. It can be distinguished by the vertex of the head not having a small tubercle.
Distribution
Bolivia, Ecuador, Panama (?), Peru.
