Description. Elongate; subparallel; flattened; head (except yellow frons) and scutellum black; pronotum yellowish with medial black macula on anterior and basal margins connected by thin black vitta; elytra with yellowish vitta from base to apical 1/4 including puncture rows 6-8, lateral margin black; pro-, meso-, and metasterna yellow medially, black at sides; abdominal sterna 1-4 black with yellow margins; 5 totally black; femur yellow with dark apex, tibia darker. Head: vertex impunctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate, 4 x length of 2; 2 transverse, short; 3 2 x length of 2, with projection on inner apical angle; 4-6 elongate, subequal in length, each shorter than 3 (rest missing). Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then slightly rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle slightly rounded, not projecting; posterior angle angular; anterior margin straight; disc slightly convex; surface with scattered punctures laterally; disc impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.1 mm; pronotal width 1.4 mm. Scutellum: broadly triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; puncture rows little impressed, obsolete on apex; elytral length 4.6 mm; elytral width 2.0 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; male with last sternite with apical margin truncate. Leg: slender; impunctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.1 mm. Diagnosis. This species is similar to Cephaloleia belti , Cephaloleia consanguinea , Cephaloleia semivittata , Cephaloleia triangularis , Cephaloleia variabilis , and Cephaloleia vicina . It can be distinguished by the elytral puncture rows being obsolete apically, by antennomere 1 being 3 times longer than 3, by the pronotum being punctate laterally, and by the pro-, meso-, and metasterna being impunctate.
