Uhmann 1953 d: 48 (faunal list). Cephaloleia uniguttata Pic. Uhmann 1957b : 27 (catalog); Descarpentries and Villiers 1959 a: 139 (types). 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, 1/2 length of 1; 3 elongate, cylindrical, 11/2 x of 2; 4-5 elongate, cylindrical, subequal in length, each 3/4 length of 3; 5-10 transverse, subequal in length, each 3/4 length of 5; 11 2 x length of 10, rounded at apex; 1-2 punctate with scattered setae; 3-11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight for basal 1/2 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 1/2 . Distribution. Ecuador, Peru. Type material examined.
