Description
Narrowly elongate; subparallel; subconvex; head, antennae, scutellum, venter, and legs black, pronotum reddish, elytra with basal ½ reddish-brown with a black sutural vitta, apical ½ black. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; keel present between antennal bases; depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 transverse, laterally compressed; 2 transverse, shortest; 3–4 elongate, cylindrical; 3 elongate, as long as 1 and 2 combined; 4 ¾ length of 3; 5–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin sinuate then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle acute, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface deeply, sparsely, irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.9–1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.1–1.4 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; slightly punctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded, sparsely serrate; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; puncture row 10 removed from lateral margin; elytral length 3.8–4.0 mm; elytral width 1.8–2.0 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. Leg: slender; femur punctate at apex; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.0–5.3 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia atriceps and Cephaloleia ruficollis. It can be distinguished by the elytra being reddish-brown at the base with a black sutural vitta, by the vertex of the head being depressed between the eyes, and by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being complete.
Distribution
Costa Rica, Panama.
