Head: small; eyes oval, convex, finely faceted, slightly prominent (Figs 19-20); labrum rather large (Fig. 19), anterior margin rounded; maxillary palps with palpomere 1 short, 2 oblong conic, 3 shorter than 1 or 2, 4 subequal in length to 2, truncate at apex (Fig. 19). Antenna: filiform, slightly thickened at apex. Pronotum: quadrangular, square or transverse; frequently widest just behind apical angle; usually margined laterally, sometimes canaliculate; basal margin bisinuate or occasionally biangulate. Scutellum: short; pentagonal or triangular (Fig. 21). Elytron: variable in form and color; with 10 puncture rows plus a short scutellar row; very narrowly margined (Fig. 22); one segment of abdomen exposed. Venter: prosternum strongly contracted between coxae, truncate at base; mesosternum short, transverse; metasternum larger; suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 often obsolete (at least in middle). Leg: short; femur dilated in middle; tibia short, dilated toward apex, obliquely truncate at apex; tarsi wide, short; claws divaricate (Figs 25-26).</p><p>Larval morphology.</p><p>In general, larvae of Cephaloleia Chevrolat are rounded oval, longer than wide, with even, regular margins formed by wide expansion of all segments from pronotum to caudal abdominal segment forming a scale-like shield (Figs 27-54); head and legs concealed by broadly flattened margins (Figs 27-54); margins can display setae (Figs 14-18); expansions extending far forward in front of the head for a distance much greater than the width or length of the head (Figs 27-54), beyond the thorax at the sides to a width greater than ½ the width of the body proper and beyond the abdomen at the sides to a width wider on each side than the width of abdomen proper, width at caudal end nearly as great as at anterior end; expansions narrowly laminate; segments more or less distinct with spiracles (Fig. 13), sides plicate; elevated along central longitudinal medial line which is wider after the middle to the prothorax and narrows on tergites 7-9. Divisions between the head and the prosternum and abdominal tergites 7-9 are not clearly defined. Dorsal surface convex. Head retracted (Figs 11, 15); antenna with three antennomeres (Fig. 17). Legs consist of two distinct segments plus base; ending with a single strong recurved claw (Figs 12, 16).</p><p>Taxonomic position.</p><p>Historically Cephaloleia has been placed in the tribe Cephaloleiini Chapuis, 1875 (Staines 2002). The tribe Cephaloleiini has been synonymized with the tribe Imatidiini Chapuis, 1875 ( Monrós and Viana 1947, Borowiec 1995, Staines 2002). However, Lawrence et al. (2011) demonstrated that the true author of Imatidiini is Hope (1840). This makes Imatidiini a senior subjective synonym of Cephaloleiini (ICZN 1999, Art. 23.1). The tribe Imatidiini contains 17 genera (Staines 2002). Cephaloleia can be distinguished from the other genera by the following combination of characters: antennae with 11 antennomeres; mouth not projecting forward; elytra subparallel; body not cylindrical; apical margin of pronotum truncate or weakly rounded in middle; base of elytra without carina; last three abdominal sterna not hirsute; and pygidium generally exposed.</p><p>Species excluded from Cephaloleia .</p><p>Three species currently in Cephaloleia need to be assigned to other genera. Cephaloleia bipartita Pic, 1926c belongs to Hybosispa Weise, 1910 due to the pronotum lacking a seta in any angle, the antennae being inserted into pits and the deep excavation of the frons. Cephaloleia minasensis Pic, 1931d and Cephaloleia viridis Pic, 1931d belong to Stenispa Baly, 1858 due to the antennae being inserted into shallow pits which are divided by a longitudinal keel, the shape of the basal two antennomeres, and the cylindrical body shape. The species Cephaloleia lalli (cited in McKenna and Farrell 2006) is not a valid name (ICZN Art. 15). Requests for this specimen or additional information were not responded to.</p><p>Remarks .</p><p>Most Cephaloleia species are generally similar in appearance. Some species are easily recognized by the body shape or color pattern. Other species can only be distinguished by the sculpture of the head. Important sculpturing is the degree and strength of punctation on the vertex (Fig. 20) and the presence, absence or shape of sulci or carinae (Fig. 20). The sulci or carinae sometimes continue between the antennal bases and onto the frons. Characters on the antennae are also important. The relative lengths of the first three antennomeres and the presence or absence of triangular projections on antennomeres two to four distinguish a number of species. Antennal projections are not used in the key for some species since the presence or absence of projections is a sexual character in these species. If the pronotal margin is canaliculate (channeled or grooved) or not is extremely useful with some species. Another useful character is whether the elytra have a declivity from behind the humerus at puncture row 7. Also on the elytra the arrangement of the apical punctures is useful in species determinations. Male and female genitalia were examined and found not useful for species determinations but the shape of the last sternite is useful for gender identification (Figs 23-24).</p><p>There are three groups of species which differ from the general pattern of the genus but do not clearly belong to other genera or justify erecting a new genus so are retained in Cephaloleia . The barroi-group ( Cephaloleia barroi Uhmann, 1959c and Cephaloleia sandersoni Staines, 1996) have a convex, rounded body similar to the genera Demotispa Baly, 1858 and Stilnapsis Weise, 1905b. The gracilis-group ( Cephaloleia gracilis Baly, 1878, Cephaloleia formosus Staines, 1996, and Cephaloleia vagelineata Pic, 1926c) are much more flattened than other Cephaloleia and have the elytral apex truncate. The humeralis-group ( Cephaloleia humeralis Weise, 1910, Cephaloleia obsoleta Weise, 1910, and Cephaloleia uhmanni Staines, 1996) resembles members of Stenispa but differ in several characters.</p><p>Species hypotheses included in this revision are based on similarities with morphological characters of type specimens. However, molecular analyses suggest that some Cephaloleia species are not monophyletic but a complex of cryptic species (McKenna and Farrell 2005). Therefore, future studies will need to combine traditional taxonomy with ecological and molecular data to elucidate species boundaries.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/70EECEF8F8301200F761D49474E12496	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It can be distinguished by the serrulate lateral margins of the pronotum, by the angulate anterior angles of the pronotum, and by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being complete.</p><p>Host plant.</p><p>Elaeis guineensis Jacq., Corozo oleifera (H.B.K.) Bailey, Cocos nucifera L. (Sandino 1972); Astrocaryum chonta Matrius (Couturier and Kahn 1992) ( Arecaceae).</p><p>Biology.</p><p>The recently hatched larva feeds on the interior surface of the basal part of the young rachis of the palm. This damage has the appearance of superficial scrapings in the form of longitudinally lengthened maculae. These maculae are initially light (or clear) in color and darken with time. The adult beetles seek out the youngest leaves of the host palm, rasping the surface of the leaflets. This class of damage, which commonly is in the form of longitudinal bands or lines, can cause a yellowing and drying of the foliage, which can be afterwards be invaded by fungi (Sandino 1972).</p><p>The eggs are deposited individually in the internal surface of the base of the young rachis of the host palm. The larva prefers this humid medium that is protected from the direct action of the sun. Pupae are found in the internal basal part of the rachises. The adults are found in the youngest leaves of the palm and which are beginning to open. There they stay hidden among the leaflets. It is very rare to encounter the insect in old leaves or those that have already opened completely; possibly this is owing to their preference for humidity and protection from the effects of the sun, which are present on the leaves which they barely are beginning to separate their leaflet. The mechanical damage caused by the adults of Cephaloleia vagelineata although apparently insignificant, is important when the insects are present in abundance, in those cases, the affected areas can coalesce resulting in the withering of much of the foliage (Sandino 1972).</p><p>The eggs are yellow, flattened, ellipsoid and about 2 mm long. The larvae are whitish, flattened, and ellipsoid, with the last instar nearly 6 mm long. The pupa is similar in form and size to the larva and is distinguished by being thicker and having a cream color, which changes to black, in its central part, as it matures (Sandino 1972).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Brazil ( Goiás, Matto Grosso), Colombia.</p><p>Type material.</p><p>Type: Brazil, Goyaz, Jatahy (MNHN, not seen).</p><p>Specimens examined.</p><p>Brazil: Goiás- Jatahy (MNHN).
