Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; head, antennae, pronotum, and scutellum dark; elytra reddish-brown with apical 1/5 dark and pale lateral margins; venter reddish-brown medially, dark laterally; legs yellowish. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 clavate, elongate; 2 transverse, ½ length of 1; 3 elongate, subequal in length of 1; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 pointed at apex, subequal in length to 1 or 3; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate apically; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; slight depression laterally behind middle; surface densely irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0 mm; pronotal width 1.3 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin nearly straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, slightly produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; flattened along suture; shallowly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.7 mm; elytral width 1.8 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially. Leg: slender; femur and tibia punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia fringed with setae at apex. Total length: 5.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia splendida. It can be distinguished by antennomere 1 being twice as long as 2 and by the lateral impression on the pronotum.
Distribution
Costa Rica, Panama.
