Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; head black, antennae yellow with apical two antennomeres darker; pronotum black with lateral margin yellow; elytra yellow with black curved transverse band near apex, a black submarginal vitta starting at base ending in a black transverse band near the middle; venter yellowish. Head: vertex impunctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate; 2 robust, ¾ length of 1; 3 elongate, longer than 2; 4–5 elongate, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 6–10 transverse; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–9 punctate with scattered setae; 10–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle slightly excavated; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface coarsely, irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.9 mm; pronotal width 1.3 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; moderately convex, flattened at suture; distinctly punctate-striate, punctures large; elytral length 3.2 mm; elytral width 1.6 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna sparsely punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate, sinuate medially in male. Leg: slender, impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia tetraspilota. It can be distinguished by the yellowish elytra and the impunctate vertex of the head.
