Description
Elongate; ovate; subconvex; shining; yellowish-brown; head, antennae (except antennomere 1 brownish) black; elytra with black sutural marking; venter with pro-, meso-, metasterna and abdominal sternite 1 yellowish-brown medially, black laterally, sterna 3–5 yellowish-brown. Head: vertex punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 slightly incrassate, 2× length of 2; 2 subglobose, elongate; 3–5 cylindrical, subequal in length, each longer than 2; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 2× length of 10, broadly rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate at base, straight after middle then rounding to anterior angle, finely margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface densely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.9–1.1 mm; pronotal width 1.2–1.4 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; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.3–3.7 mm; elytral width 1.5–1.7 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially 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: 4.5–5.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia kolbei and Cephaloleia quinquemaculata. It can be distinguished by the sinuate lateral margin of the pronotum.
