Remarks.
STAINES (1996)
described
C. delectabilis
based on single specimen and placed it in the genus
Cephaloleia
without further comment. Studying the black-and-white photograph, which accompanied the original description I doubted that the species belongs to the genus
Hybosispa
but essential characters were not visible or mentioned in the original description. I loaned the
holotype
and found that it has no seta on anterior margin of pronotum and the inner margins of eyes are produced, therefore I hereby transfer the
C. delectabilis
to
Hybosispa
. The species is so far known only from the
holotype
.
Distribution.
