Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; yellow; antennae yellowish brown; vertex of head with oval black macula, pronotum with black broad longitudinal band, which begins at the apex and widens posteriorly, scutellum black, and basal ⅓ of elytra with black oval macula, elytra slightly darkened beneath humerus; pro-, meso-, and metasternum yellowish medially, dark laterally; sternites diffuse black. Head: vertex extremely finely punctate, with medial sulcus and callus between the antennal bases; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to base of elytra; slender; antennomeres with whitish setae; 1 longest, incrassate; 2–6 cylindrical, elongate, decreasing in length; 7–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 6; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse, nearly as wide as base of elytra; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface with scattered strong and irregular punctures; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.5 mm; pronotal width 1.7–1.9 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal, impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; interspaces not raised; each puncture darkened; elytral length 4.7–4.9 mm; elytral width 2.0–2.2 mm. Venter: prosternum impunctate; 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 emarginate medially in male, rounded in female. Leg: slender; sparsely punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.4–6.7 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia fryella and Cephaloleia lydiae. It can be distinguished by the longitudinal black vitta on the pronotum which extends from the base to the apex.
