Description
Elongate; subparallel; subconvex; head yellow, eyes darker; antennae black, except antennomere 1 or 1 and 2 which are yellow; pronotum yellow with black triangular macula from anterior margin to near base; scutellum black; elytra yellow with black humeral maculae and black band just after midline from suture to lateral margin; legs yellow, apex of tibia and tarsi darker. Head: vertex impunctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: less than ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 elongate; 2 transverse; 3–4 elongate, shorter than 1; 5–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 pointed at apex, subequal in length to 1; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle angulate; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex, impunctate; with slight prebasal depression laterally; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.3–1.5 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; micropunctate. Elytron: lateral margin slightly expanding apically, 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; slightly flattened along suture; moderately punctate-striate, interspaces finely sulcate; puncture rows converge and unite apically; humerus virtually impunctate; elytral length 4.3–4.7 mm; elytral width 1.8–2.0 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale setae; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, rounded, entire in female. Leg: slender; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.8–6.3 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia reventazonica. It can be distinguished by antennomere 3 being shorter than 1, by the humerus being nearly impunctate, and by the elytral puncture rows being regular to the apex.
Host plant
Adults have been collected on Heliconia sp. (Strong 1977b[6]); Heliconia tortuosa Griggs (Heliconiaceae), Calathea crotalifera S. Watson, Pleiostachya leiostachya (Donn. Sm.) Hammel (Marantaceae).
Distribution
Costa Rica, Panama.
