Description
Narrowly elongate; subdepressed; shining; head, antennae (except antennomeres 1–4 yellowish), and scutellum black; pronotum yellow; elytra black, with yellow lateral margin and broad yellow subsutural vitta which reaches to beyond middle and connects to lateral margin; venter black with lateral margin of abdomen piceous; coxae and legs yellow, darkened at tibio-tarsal joint. Head: vertex with small fovea, faint medial carina present; front and vertex finely punctate; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes Antenna: reaches to humerus; robust; antennomere 1 clavate, slightly incrassate, longer than 2; 2 transverse, ½ length of 1; 3 elongate, cylindrical, ¾ length of 1; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 2× length of 10, subequal in length to 2, broadly rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin slightly sinuate, narrowed basally then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface deeply, coarsely punctate, more dense laterally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.2–1.4 mm; pronotal width 1.5–1.7 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin slightly expanding apically, smooth, slightly margined; apex obtusely rounded; weakly emarginate at suture, sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; flattened; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; lateral interspaces sulcate; pygidium obtuse; elytral length 4.0–4.3 mm; elytral width 1.9–2.1 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, sinuate medially in male, sinuate in female. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.1–5.8 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia vittipennis. It can be distinguished by the medial fovea on the vertex of the head and by the basal impression on the pronotum.
Distribution
Argentina, Brazil (Bahia, Santa Catharina), Paraguay.
