Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; black; antennae and legs paler; elytra with rounded ocher-yellow macula behind humeri and apical ¼ ocher-yellow; abdominal sterna yellowish; leg with base of femur brownish. Head: vertex strongly punctate, with medial carina; frons impunctate, not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches beyond humerus; slender; antennomere 1 elongate, cylindrical, slightly longer than 2; 2–5 subequal in length, each ¾ length of 1, subelongate; 6–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal 4/5 then broadly rounded to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface strongly sparsely punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3–1.5 mm; pronotal width 1.4–1.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded, smooth; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.0–4.4 mm; elytral width 2.2–2.5 mm. Venter: prosternum punctate; meso- and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.0–5.7 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia maculipennis. It can be distinguished by the black elytra and by the densely punctate vertex of the head.
Host plant
Adults have been collected feeding on Calathea lanata Peterson (Marantaceae).
Distribution
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.
Type material
Type: Colombia (depository unknown, not examined).
Specimens examined
Colombia: no further data (BMNH). Ecuador: Pichincha- Maquipuncuna Biological Reserve, 1350 m, 2–3 August 1998 (AJGC), 1275 m, Principal Trail, 27–29 October 1999 (SEMC). Sucumbios- Shushifindi, 1200 m, 9 August 1998 (AJGC, USNM). Peru: Loreto- Madreselva Biol. Stn., 24 June 2005 (USNM). Total: 22.
