Description.
Elongate; large; subparallel; subconvex; head, pronotum (except castanaceous lateral margins), antennae, and legs black; scutellum and elytra yellowish. Head: vertex finely, densely punctate, medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomeres 1-5 elongate; 1 thickened, ⅓ longer than 2; 2-5 cylindrical; 3 longer than 2; 4-5 subequal in length, each shorter than 3; 6-10 subequal in length, transverse, each shorter than 5; 11 2 × length of 10, pointed at apex; 1-2 punctate with scattered setae; 3-11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely, strongly punctate, more dense laterally, longitudinal impunctate line on disc; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3-1.7 mm; pronotal width 2.0-2.4 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; subconvex; moderately punctate-striate, punctures rather oval; interspaces flat; elytral length 5.2-5.6 mm; elytral width 2.9-3.2 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate medially, punctate laterally; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin truncate in female, emarginate medially in male. Leg: robust; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.0-7.5 mm.
Diagnosis.
This species is similar to Cephaloleia collaris and Cephaloleia neglecta . It can be distinguished by the lack of a transverse basal impression on the pronotum.
Host plant.
According to label data, adults have been collected feeding on Heliconia standleyi J. F. Mador. ( Heliconiaceae ) and Elaeis guineensis Jacq. ( Arecaceae ).
Distribution.
Brazil (Amazonas), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.
