Description
Suboval; subconvex; black; pronotum red laterally; elytra reddish-yellow with large rounded black sutural macula after middle; legs and abdomen red. Head: vertex sparsely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; 1 subincrassate, elongate; 2 transverse, ½ length of 1; 3 elongate, cylindrical, 1½x of 2; 4–5 elongate, cylindrical, subequal in length, each ¾ length of 3; 5–10 transverse, subequal in length, each ¾ length of 5; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal ½ then rounding to anterior angle, broadly margined; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface irregularly, strongly punctate; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight for basal ⅔ then narrowing, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle with minute tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, punctures reduced at humerus, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.6 mm; elytral width 2.4 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, truncate in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.0 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia insidiosa. It can be distinguished by the pronotum having reddish lateral margins and by the elytra having an ovoid black medial macula on the apical ½.
Distribution
Ecuador, Peru.
