Cephaloleia uhmanni Staines, 1996 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Cephaloleia uhmanni Staines 1996[1]: 67. Staines 1996(1997)[2]: 18 (Nicaragua species); Maes 1999[3]: 1017 (faunal list); McKenna and Farrell 2005[4]: 121 (phylogeny), 2006[5]: 10949 (phylogeny).
Description
Small; elongate; subparallel; subconvex; variable in coloration- head black; antennomeres 1–3 reddish-yellow, 4–11 black; pronotum black with paler margins; scutellum black; elytra black with reddish yellow at humerus and margins or brownish with dark suture; venter with pro-, meso-, and metasterna pale medially, dark laterally, abdominal sterna brownish-yellow; legs brownish-yellow. Head: vertex punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomeres 1–2 transverse, thick, subequal in length; 3 elongate, cylindrical; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each ¾ length of 3; 11 2× length of 10, subequal in length to 3 pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal ¾ then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, deeply punctate, less dense and finer on disc and anterior margin; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.6–0.7 mm; pronotal width 0.9–1.0 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, humerus nearly impunctate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 2.4–3.0 mm; elytral width 1.1–1.3 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sternite 1 punctate laterally, glabrous; 2–5 punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; femur robust; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 3.3–3.9 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia neglecta. It can be distinguished by the smaller size and by the pronotum and elytra being the same color.
Distribution
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama.
