Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; black with submedial pronotal macula, and elytra with wide submedial transverse vitta yellowish; antennae dark, last three antennomeres yellowish; head black, reddish between antennae; scutellum black; pro-, meso-, and metasterna yellowish medially, black laterally; abdominal sterna black with yellowish lateral margin; legs with femur yellow basally, dark apically, tibiae and tarsi dark. Head: vertex finely punctate, faint medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate; 2 subglobose, ⅓ length of 1; 3 weakly triangular in male, cylindrical in female, 2× length of 2; 4–10 elongate, cylindrical, subequal in length, each 2× length of 2; 11 2½x length of 10, longest; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved anteriorly; disc subconvex; surface finely punctate; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.2–1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.4–1.5 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; punctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; weakly punctate-striate, punctures obsolete apically; elytral length 5.1–5.3 mm; elytral width 2.0–2.1 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin rounded. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.5–7.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia applicata. It can be distinguished by the pro-, meso-, and metasterna being impunctate laterally and by antennomeres 4 to 10 decreasing in length.
Distribution
Brazil, Ecuador.
