Description
Elongate; subparallel, rounded apically; subconvex; shining; testaceous; head black with red vertex; antennomeres 1–4 red, 5–11 black; pronotum with basal margin slightly darker; scutellum reddish; macula on each elytron behind humerus and apex black; venter testaceous, darker apically. Head: vertex densely punctate; with strong carina between antennal bases; frons not projecting; palps slender; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomeres 1–2 subglobular, rounded, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 3–4 cylindrical, elongate; 3 longest; 4 shorter than 3, longer than 2; 5–10 cylindrical, subequal in length to 2; 11 acutely pointed at apex; 1–5 punctate with scattered setae; 6–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse, wider at base than apex; lateral margin sinuate then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle obtuse, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved anteriorly; disc flattened; surface with large, scattered punctures, disc almost impunctate; with weak basal impression laterally; pronotal length 1.2–1.5 mm; pronotal width 1.8–2.0 mm. Scutellum: subpentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; deeply punctate-striate, punctures confused basally, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.2–4.5 mm; elytral width 1.9–2.1 mm. Venter: epipleuron wide, almost flat, black at base; pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with a white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male. Leg: short; robust; impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.2–6.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia dilectans, Cephaloleia maxima, and Cephaloleia strandi. It can be distinguished by by the two oblique impressions on the pronotum.
Distribution
