Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; head black; antennomeres 1–7 reddish, 8–11 darker; palps and legs yellowish; pronotum black with paler anterior and lateral margins; elytra reddish-yellow with black longitudinal vitta on basal ½ along suture and black dilated macula apically; venter with pro- and mesosterna black, metasternum reddish-yellow medially, black laterally, abdominal sterna reddish-yellow; legs reddish-yellow. Head: vertex distinctly, finely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1–5 elongate, cylindrical; 1 slightly longer and thicker than 2; 3 longer than 1; 4–5 shorter than 3, subequal in length; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then weakly rounding to anterior angle, distinctly margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface finely punctate, with medial dilated line impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.8–1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.0–1.2 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, punctures large, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 2.9–3.2 mm; elytral width 1.3–1.5 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 truncate, rounded medially in male, emarginate medially in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 3.9–4.1 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia emdeni. It can be distinguished by the vertex of the head beign depressed between the eyes.
Host plant
According to the label data, adults have been collected on Carex sp. (Cyperaceae).
Distribution
