F0D1C8144D62D303F3A380047D5DA892.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is most similar to Cephaloleia gemma sp. n. and Cephaloleia trilineata. It can be distinguished from Cephaloleia gemma by the yellowish coloration (black in Cephaloleia gemma) and larger size (6.2 mm versus 4.0 mm). It can be distinguished from Cephaloleia trilineata by lacking a small tooth in the sutural angle of the elytra and that elytral puncture rows 3 and 4 are not confused basally.	en	Staines, Charles L., Garcia-Robledo, Carlos (2014): The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1836 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae).

This species falls into a group of bicolored species with a reddish pronotum which includes Cephaloleia abdominalis, Cephaloleia princeps, Cephaloleia steinhauseni, Cephaloleia susanae sp. n., and Cephaloleia teutonica.

7C880463AA5A38D9F42C933BFA9B87AC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species has two color forms. The bicolored form is similar to Cephaloleia abdominalis, Cephaloleia amazona, Cephaloleia princeps, Cephaloleia susanae sp. n., and Cephaloleia teutonica. It can be distinguished by the smaller size, by the lateral margin of the pronotum being straight, and by the vertex of the head with a medial fovea, carina or sulcus. The pale form is similar to Cephaloleia crenulata sp. n. It can be distinguished by the smooth lateral margins of the pronotum, by the impunctate vertex of the head, and by antennomere 1 being twice the length of 2.	en	Staines, Charles L., Garcia-Robledo, Carlos (2014): The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1836 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae).
