- Cephaloleia teutonica Uhmann. Uhmann 1957b[2]: 26 (catalog), 1964b[3]: 5 (faunal list); Gaedike and Döbler 1971[4]: 361 (types); Staines 1997[5]b: 414 (Uhmann species list).
Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; head, pronotum, scutellum, venter, and legs yellowish-brown; antennae and elytra black. Head: vertex sparsely punctate, medial sulcus present; keel present between antennal bases; eyes convex; frons sparsely punctate, not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; robust; antennomere 1 thick, elongate in male, shorter in female; 2 transverse, ⅓ length of 1; 3–4 transverse, subequal in length, each longer than 2; 5–10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 11 2× length of 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, weakly margined; anterior angle rounded, weakly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.3–1.5 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; sparsely punctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, broadly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle with small tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 edged with faint carina; moderately punctate-striate, punctures in row 8 larger, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.5–3.9 mm; elytral width 1.8–2.0 mm. Venter: prosternum impunctate; 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 rounded and emarginate medially in male, rounded in female. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex; Total length: 5.0–5.5 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia abdominalis, Cephaloleia amazona, Cephaloleia princeps, Cephaloleia steinhauseni, and Cephaloleia susanae sp. n. It can be distinguished by the straight lateral margins of the pronotum, by the vertex of the head having a medial sulcus, by antennomere 3 being longer than 2, and by the immaculate pronotum.
