Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; head (except yellow front), antennae, and scutellum black; pronotum yellowish with black triangular medial macula on anterior margin; elytra yellowish, suture darker and black macula at humerus; venter prosternum yellowish, meso- and metasterna yellow medially, black laterally, abdominal sterna 2–5 black medially, yellow laterally; leg femur yellowish; tibia and tarsi darker. Head: vertex impunctate, Y-shaped medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 elongate, clavate; 2 elongate; 3 compressed, triangular; 4–10 transverse, each shorter than 3; 11 pointed at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc flattened; surface punctate laterally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.5 mm. Scutellum: triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, slightly produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; flattened at suture; moderately punctate-striate, punctation obsolete at humerus, punctures confused apically; weak declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 not edged with faint carina; elytral length 5.0 mm; elytral width 2.0 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete. Leg: slender; femur punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.7 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia instabilis. It can be distinguished by by only antennomere 3 being triangular.
Distribution
Panama.
