Remarks.
The placement of this species is uncertain since many of the species Pic described in Cephaloleia belong to other genera. We have not seen any specimen which can be assigned to this species based on the short description nor have I found any material identified to this species. The type is not present in the Museum National d’Historie Naturelle (Paris) (MNHN).
