Description
Elongate; large; subdepressed; yellow; head, antennae, and scutellum black, pronotum with black anterior and posterior maculae, elytra yellow with black sutural vitta to puncture row 2 and black lateral vitta to puncture row 8, sutural and lateral vittae unite near apex; venter with pro-, meso-, metasterna, and abdominal sterna yellow medially, black laterally; leg with femur yellow except for base and apex, tibia and tarsi darker. Head: vertex sparsely, finely punctate, with 3 carinae near base of antennae; frons punctate, not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, with fringe of setae on lower apex, largest, longer than 2 and 3 combined; 2 transverse; 3 transverse and triangular in male, elongate in female; 4–10 elongate, subequal in length; 11 rounded at apex, ¾ length of 1; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight and divergent for basal ¾ then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle angulate; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc flattened; surface sparsely, irregularly punctate, disc impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.4–1.6 mm; pronotal width 1.7–1.9 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; alutaceous. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 not edged with faint carina; disc flattened; shallowly punctate-striate, punctures obsolete apically; elytral length 5.9 mm; elytral width 2.7 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, rugose laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin rounded in female, bisinuate in male. Leg: slender; apex of tibia with spoon-shaped depression with fringe of setae; mesolegs densely pubescent. Total length: 7.0–8.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia quadrilineata and Cephaloleia suaveola. It can be distinguished by the elytra not expanding apically and by antennomere 1 being incrassate with 2 transverse.
Host plant
Calathea insignis Hort. and Bull. (Uhmann 1930a[1]); adults have been collected feeding on Heliconia imbricata (Kuntze) Baker (Heliconiaceae), Calathea macrosepala K. Schumann (Marantaceae) (Staines 1996[10]).
Distribution
Costa Rica, Panama.
