Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; black. Head: vertex lightly punctate, with medial fovea; keel present between antennal bases; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomeres 1–2 transverse, subequal in length, each ¾ length of 3; 3 elongate, cylindrical, longest; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length, each slightly longer than 1 or 2; 11 2× length of 10, rounded at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, slightly canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely punctate laterally and basally; transverse basal impression present medially; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.4–1.6 mm. Scutellum: broadly pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded, finely serrulate; sutural angle with small tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; strongly punctate-striate, rows confused near apex; elytral length 3.5–3.9 mm; elytral width 1.7–1.9 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 broadly truncate in male, emarginate medially in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.9–5.3 mm.
Diagnosis
This species is similar to Cephaloleia depressa, Cephaloleia donckieri, Cephaloleia elaeidis, and Cephaloleia tarsata. It can be distinguished by the medial fovea on the vertex of the head and by the smooth lateral margins of the pronotum and the smooth apical margins of the elytra.
