Description
Small; elongate; slightly narrowing apically; subconvex; reddish-brown, eyes darker; antennae with antennomeres 1–2 reddish-brown, 3–11 black. Head: vertex impunctate, with two deep, longitudinal sulci which reach antennal bases, longitudinal carina present between sulci; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; robust; antennomeres 1–2 short, subequal in length; 1 robust, clavate; 2 cylindrical; 3–10 transverse, decreasing in length, 3 shorter than 1 or 2; 2× length of 10, 11 rounded at apex; 1–2 impunctate, glabrous; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight from base to beyond middle then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle broadly rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; apical margin straight; disc subconvex; surface sparsely punctate with shallow punctures; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.7–1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.1–1.3 mm. Scutellum: subcordate, apex acute; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, punctures large, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 2.6–3.1 mm; elytral width 1.4–1.6 mm. Venter: pro- and mesosterna impunctate; metasternum impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna impunctate, glabrous; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially. Leg: slender; impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 3.6–4.1 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia mauliki, Cephaloleia placida, and Cephaloleia simplex. It can be distinguished by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being obsolete medially and by antennomere 1 being subequal in length to 2.
Distribution
Costa Rica, Panama.
