Description

Subelongate; subdepressed; pale yellow, eyes, antennae and pleurae darker; elytra with suture behind middle with indistinct dark macula; venter pale yellowish. Head: vertex finely not densely punctate, with longitudinal medial carina; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; robust, compact; antennomeres short; 1 obovate, not incrassate, 2× longer than 2; 2 subglobose, shortest; 3 cylindrical, slightly longer than 2; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse, twice as wide as long at base; lateral margin nearly straight basally then rounding and narrowing to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle obtuse, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface coarsely, deeply punctate, more dense laterally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.4–1.6 mm; pronotal width 2.0–2.2 mm. Scutellum: triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; slightly flattened along suture; subconvex laterally; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; interspaces sulcate laterally; elytral length 4.8–5.2 mm; elytral width 2.7–2.9 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, metasterna, and abdominal sterna impunctate; suture between sterna 1 and 2 entirely obsolete; last sternite with apical margin bisinuate in female, emarginate medially in male. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.5–6.8 mm.

Diagnosis

This species is similar to Cephaloleia castanea and Cephaloleia nigricornis. It can be distinguished by the vertex of the head having a medial carina.
