Description
Moderately elongate; subparallel; subconvex; shining; pale yellowish; eyes, antennae, scutellum, elytral suture and five elytral maculae darker; venter with pro-, meso-, and metasterna reddish-yellow medially, black laterally, abdominal reddish-brown; legs reddish-yellow with tibio-femoral joint darker. Head: vertex irregularly, finely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches beyond humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate; 2 cylindrical, ½ length of 1; 3 longer than 2, slightly widening apically; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 2; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved anteriorly; disc subconvex; surface strongly punctate except middle line impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex broadly rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.0 mm; elytral width 2.2 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna irregularly punctate, each puncture with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia kolbei and Cephaloleia sagittifera. It can be distinguished by the lateral margin of the pronotum being canaliculate and straight but not divergent.
Distribution
Peru.
