Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; black with legs reddish; venter covered with white pubescence (denser on abdomen). Head: vertex finely, densely punctate; medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; robust; antennomeres 1–2 subequal in length, slightly elongate; 3–5 elongate, subequal in length, each shorter than 2; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight for basal ⅔ then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface irregularly, sparsely punctate; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.1 mm; pronotal width 1.4 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex subrounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; strongly, irregularly punctate-striate at base, apex with punctures nearly obsolete; interspaces slightly raised; elytral length 3.8 mm; elytral width 1.6 mm. Venter: obscured by card. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia coroicoana, Cephaloleia deplanata, Cephaloleia fiebrigi, and Cephaloleia marantae. It can be distinguished by the basal impression on the pronotum and by the elytral punctures being obsolete basally.
Distribution
