Name
Cephaloleia trilineata Uhmann, 1942b – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Cephalolia trilineata Uhmann 1942[1]b: 101.
- Cephaloleia trilineata Uhmann. Uhmann 1957b[2]: 26 (catalog); Gaedike and Döbler 1971[3]: 361 (types); Staines 1997[4]b: 414 (Uhmann species list).
Description
Elongate; subparallel; subconvex; shining; yellowish-brown; antennomeres 1–2 reddish-brown, 3–11 black; head with vertex black; scutellum black; elytra with sutural vitta, vitta from humerus to near apex, and apex black. Head: vertex densely punctate medially, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres elongate, nearly subequal in length; 1 shortest; 11 longest, rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle obtuse, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved anteriorly; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.4–1.6 mm; pronotal width 1.7–1.9 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, slightly laminate; apex rounded; sutural angle weakly emarginate, with small tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, puncture rows 3–4 confused at base, rows converge and unite apically; pygidium punctate; elytral length 4.3–4.5 mm; elytral width 2.1–2.2 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna sparsely punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate medially in female. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.0–6.2 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia abdita sp. n. and Cephaloleia gemma sp. n. It can be distinguished by the elytral puncture rows 3 and 4 being confused basally, by the sutural angle of the elytra having a small tooth, and by antennomere 1 being shorter than 2.
