Description
Elongate; subparallel; subconvex; shining; elytra yellow with dark vitta at base along suture and apical 1/5 black, small elongate black macula on side near middle; venter yellowish medially, black laterally; legs yellowish. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: longer than head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomere 1 longest, slightly incrassate; 2 ½ length 1, elongate; 3–5 cylindrical, elongate, decreasing in length, 3 subequal in length to 1; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 2× length 10, acutely pointed at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface moderately, deeply punctate laterally, nearly impunctate on anterior margin; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.1–1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.3–1.5 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, distinctly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; distinctly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.9–4.4 mm; elytral width 1.7–1.9 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.4–5.8 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia fasciata. It can be distinguished by the densely punctate vertex of the head which is depressed between the eyes.
Host plant
Accodring to data, adults have been collected feeding on Calathea lanata Peterson (Marantaceae) and Heliconia sp. (Heliconiaceae).
Distribution
Bolivia, Brazil (São Paulo), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela.
