Description
Large; oblong; subdepressed; shining; reddish-brown with eyes and apical four antennomeres darker (except apex of antennomere 11). Head: vertex sparsely punctate, medial carina present; frons with medial carina; frons not projecting; weakly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; robust; antennomere 1 large, longer than 2 and 3 combined; 2–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 slightly longer than 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight and divergent for basal ½ then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely punctate, punctures larger and more dense laterally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.5–1.7 mm; pronotal width 2.5–2.7 mm. Scutellum: triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded, smooth; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, rows 5 and 6 unite and become obsolete apically; interval 4 carinate at base; elytral length 6.0–6.2 mm; elytral width 3.1–3.5 mm. Venter: pro-, meso- and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, rounded, entire in female. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.7–8.1 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia interstitialis, Cephaloleia subdepressa, Cephaloleia truncatipennis, and Cephaloleia unctula. It can be distinguished by a transverse basal impression on the pronotum and by antennomere 1 being as long as 2 and 3 combined.
Distribution
