Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; reddish, antennomeres 1–3 yellowish-brown, 4–11 darker. Head: vertex sparsely, irregularly punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, longest; 2 ½ length of 1; 3–5 cylindrical, subequal in length, each shorter than 2; 2–4 laterally compressed and triangular in male; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex, impunctate; sparsely punctate laterally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.6–1.8 mm; pronotal width 2.2–2.4 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; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 not edged with faint carina; weakly punctate-striate in male, strongly punctate-striate in female; humerus sparsely punctate; scutellar row long; elytral length 5.8–6.2 mm; elytral width 2.9–3.1 mm. Venter: last sternite with apical margin curved posteriorly 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: 8.3–8.8 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia dimidiaticornis and Cephaloleia latipennis. It can be distinguished by the elytral puncture rows being regular to the apex and by antennomere 1 being incrassate.
Distribution
Colombia.
