Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; head (except yellowish frons) and scutellum brownish; antennae black; pronotum yellowish with anterior margin dark behind head; elytra brownish-black with yellow vitta beginning in interspace 3 going to interspace 6; venter with prosternum yellow; mesosternum yellow, medially darker laterally, metasternum and abdominal sterna yellow or with black macula on apical margin of each sternite medially; leg with femur and tibia yellow, tarsi darker. Head: vertex punctate, medial sulcus present; frons finely punctate, not projecting; eyes long, convex, finely faceted; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 elongate, robust, as long as 2–4 combined; 2–3 triangular, 3 longer than 2; 2 shortest; 3 1½ length of 2; 4–6 transverse, subequal in length, each ¾ length of 3; 7–10 elongate, subequal in length, each slightly longer than 6; 11 slightly longer than 10, pointed at apex; 1–5 punctate with scattered setae; 6–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle angulate; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc flattened; surface sparsely punctate laterally, disc impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.4 mm; pronotal width 1.6–1.7 mm. Scutellum: acutely triangular; micropunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, punctures in vitta larger, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.8 mm; elytral width 2.2–2.3 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; last sternite with apical margin shallowly emarginate in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; tibia sparsely punctate, each puncture with pale seta, with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.2–6.7 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia ornatrix and Cephaloleia presignis. It can be distinguished by the elytral punctures rows being distinct to the apex.
Distribution
Costa Rica, Mexico.
