Description.
Narrowly elongate; subparallel; subconvex; pale yellow; antennae, except antennomeres 1 and 11 black; pronotum with black subtriangular macula which extends from anterior margin ¾ way to basal margin and anterior and basal margins black; elytra with lateral margin black, humeral macula subquadrate, from puncture row 2 to lateral margin black, medial macula from suture to lateral margin black; venter and legs pale yellow. Head: vertex impunctate, fine medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 elongate, subequal in length to 3; 2 transverse, ⅓ length of 1; 3 elongate; 4-10 transverse, subequal in length, each shorter than 3, longer than 2; 11 elongate, 2 × length of 10, rounded at apex; 1-3 punctate with scattered setae; 4-11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight for basal ¾ then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle angulate; anterior margin straight; disc subconvex; surface nearly impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.3-1.4 mm; pronotal width 1.6-1.9 mm. Scutellum: acutely triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 not edged with faint carina; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 3.8-4.1 mm; elytral width 1.9-2.0 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin truncate in male, rounded in female. Leg: slender; sparsely punctate; tibia dentate at apex, with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 6.1-7.1 mm.
Diagnosis.
This species is similar to Cephaloleia fenestrata , Cephaloleia histrionica , and Cephaloleia stainesi sp. n. It can be distinguished by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being complete, by the nearly impunctate pronotum, by the vertex of the head being impunctate, by antennomeres 1-4 not compressed laterally, and by the maculate pronotum.
Host plant.
Adults have been collected feeding on Heliconia lathispatha ( Staines 1996); Heliconia pogonantha Cufod., Calathea lutea G. Mey., Cephaloleia marantifolia Standl. ( Marantaceae ) ( García–Robledo et al. 2013a); Heliconia psittacorum Sw. ( Heliconiaceae ).
Distribution.
Costa Rica, Nicaragua.
