Cephaloleia quinquemaculata Weise. Uhmann 1957b: 24 (catalog).

Description.

Moderately elongate; subparallel; subconvex; shining; pale yellowish; eyes, antennae, scutellum, elytral suture and five elytral maculae darker; venter with pro-, meso-, and metasterna reddish-yellow medially, black laterally, abdominal reddish-brown; legs reddish-yellow with tibio-femoral joint darker. Head: vertex irregularly, finely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches beyond humerus; slender; antennomere 1 incrassate, elongate; 2 cylindrical, ½ length of 1; 3 longer than 2, slightly widening apically; 4-10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 2; 11 2 × length of 10, pointed at apex; 1-3 punctate with scattered setae; 4-11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved anteriorly; disc subconvex; surface strongly punctate except middle line impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.6 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex broadly rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; shallowly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 4.0 mm; elytral width 2.2 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna irregularly punctate, each puncture with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.5 mm.

Diagnosis.

This species is similar to Cephaloleia kolbei and Cephaloleia sagittifera . It can be distinguished by the lateral margin of the pronotum being canaliculate and straight but not divergent.
