Description
Elongate; subparallel; depressed; head (except yellow frons), antennae, and scutellum black; pronotum yellow with triangular black macula behind head on anterior margin; elytra black with narrow yellow vittae which becomes obsolete on apical 1/5; venter with prosternum yellow, meso- and metasterna yellow medially, black laterally, abdominal sternite 1 entirely black, 2–5 yellow; legs with femur yellow with apex darker, coxae, tibiae, and tarsi darker. Head: vertex punctate, faint medial sulcus present; eyes convex, finely faceted; frons longitudinally strigose-punctate, not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate, compressed; 2 subglobose, short; 3 elongate, 2× length of 2, triangular with projecting angle; 4–10 transverse; 4 ¾ length of 3; 5 shorter than 4; 6–10 subequal in length, each shorter than 5; 11 more than 2× length of 2, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–5 sparsely setose; 6–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc flattened; surface with scattered large punctures laterally, impunctate medially; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.15–1.27 mm; pronotal width 1.38–1.81 mm. Scutellum: elongate, acutely triangular; micropunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex obtusely rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 without faint carina; shallowly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.6–5.1 mm; elytral width 2.0–2.3 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 truncate in male, broadly concave in female. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.9–6.7 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia bella, Cephaloleia championi, and Cephaloleia luctuosa. It can be distinguished by the vertex of the head being depressed between the eyes, by the pronotum being punctate laterally, and by antennomere 2 being triangular.
Host plant
Heliconia spp. (Strong 1977a[7]), Heliconia latispatha Benth. (Strong 1977b[8]), Heliconia imbricata (Kuntze) Baker (Heliconiaceae) (Strong 1981[9]). Adults feed on. Heliconia spp., Calathea spp., Ischnosiphon spp. (Marantaceae) (Strong 1977a[7]); Heliconia psittacurum Sassy.
Distribution
Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama.
