Description
Elongate; sub-obovate; subconvex; head, antennae, and scutellum black; pronotum yellowish; elytra yellowish with variable black markings- with suture black on basal ½ and rounded black macula on each elytron, or black from base reaching to puncture row 5 and expanding apically to puncture row 8, apex always pale; legs yellowish, tarsi darker; venter black, abdomen yellowish laterally. Head: vertex punctate, with medial carina present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches beyond humerus; slender; antennomeres elongate, cylindrical; antennomere 1 subincrassate; 2–10 elongate; 3 longest; 2, 4–10 subequal in length; 11 pointed at apex, 2× length of 10; 1–4 punctate with scattered setae; 5–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; much narrower than base of elytra; lateral margin straight for basal 4/5 then rounding to anterior angle, weakly margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface lightly punctate; weak transverse basal impression present; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.2–1.4 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin slightly expanding apically, smooth, weakly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.6–2.8 mm; elytral width 1.8–2.0 mm. Venter: pro, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin weakly emarginate medially in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; sparsely punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex Total length: 4.9–5.2 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia dilectans, Cephaloleia maxima, and Cephaloleia ornatula. It can be distinguished by the pronotum which is narrower than the base of the elytra with a basal impression.
Host plant
According to the label data, adults have been collected in the flowers of Butia yatay (Mart.) Becc. (Arecaceae).
Distribution
Brazil (Minas Gerais, Paraná, Río de Janiero).
