Description
Elongate; subparallel; subconvex; shining; yellowish-brown, with variable black markings on elytra; venter with pro-, meso-, and metasterna yellowish medially, black laterally; abdominal sterna dark brownish. Head: vertex finely punctate, faint medial sulcus present; frons punctate, not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, longer than 2; 2 transverse, ½ length of 1; 3–4 elongate, subequal in length; 5–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 4; 11 2× length 10, pointed at apex; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate at base then straight and slightly diverging to apical 1/5 then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.3–1.5 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, slightly produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; subconvex; strongly punctate-striate, puncture rows converge and unite apically; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 not edged with faint carina; elytral length 3.4–3.8 mm; elytral width 1.7–1.9 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; last sternite with apical margin truncate laterally, rounded medially in male; truncate laterally, bisinuate medially in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.9–5.4 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia balyi, Cephaloleia deficiens, Cephaloleia discoidalis, Cephaloleia dorsalis, and Cephaloleia suturalis. It can be distinguished by the yellow pronotum and by antennomere 1 being incrassate and longer than 3.
Distribution
Argentina, Brazil (Santa Catharina, São Paulo).
