Description
Oblong; small; subconvex; shining; dark reddish-brown; eyes and antennae black (except basal 2 antennomeres). Head: vertex finely, irregularly punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; robust; antennomere 1 cylindrical, slightly longer than 2; 2–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal 4/5 then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; apical margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.9–1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.4–1.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, distinctly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, slightly produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 2.9–3.1 mm; elytral width 1.6–1.8 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna sparsely punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete. Leg: slender; sparsely punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 3.9–4.1 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia dimidiaticornis and Cephaloleia polita. It can be distinguished by the elytral puncture rows converging and uniting apically.
Distribution
Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru.
