Description
Small; elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; dark with reddish-yellow markings; elytra with yellow parenthesis-shaped vitta; venter prosternum reddish-brown; meso- and metasterna reddish-brown medially, darker laterally; abdominal sterna 1–4 yellowish medially, darker laterally; sternite 5 totally dark; legs yellowish. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons lightly punctate, slightly projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 slightly elongate; 2 transverse; 3 elongate, cylindrical, subequal in length to 1; 4–5 elongate, cylindrical, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 6–7 elongate, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 8–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin nearly straight for basal ⅔, then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle produced into blunt tooth; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely punctate, medial area behind apical margin punctate; depression just behind midline laterally; pronotal length 0.9 mm; pronotal width 1.1 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal, apex acute; micropunctate. Elytron: lateral margin expanding apically, smooth; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, humerus nearly impunctate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.0 mm; elytral width 1.6 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate medially in male, subtruncate in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.3 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia scitulus. It can be distinguished by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being complete and by the sutural angle of the elytra without a small tooth.
Host plant
According to label data, adults have been collected on Calathea sp. (Marantaceae).
Distribution
Mexico, Peru, Venezuela.
