Description
(Fig. 20)
Cephaloleia delectabilis Staines, 1996: 26 (original description incl. black-and-white photograph).
Type locality. Mexico, Chiapas, Parque educativo Laguna Belgica, 16 km NW of Ocozocoautla.
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: glued, ‘ MEXICO, Chiapas, | Pq. Laguna Belgica, | 16kmNW Ocozocoautla | 14.VI.1989. H.Howden [w, p, cb] || Flight intercept | trap [w, p, cb] || HOLOTYPE | Cephaloleia [hw] | delectabilis [hw] | Staines 1994 [hw] | Des. C. L. Staines [hw] [r, p, bc] || [data matrix code] | Canadian Museum of | Musée canadien de la | NATURE | CMNEN 00012091 [w, p, cb, bf]’ (CMNC).
Remarks. STAINES (1996) described C. delectabilis based on single specimen and placed it in the genus Cephaloleia without further comment. Studying the black-and-white photograph, which accompanied the original description I doubted that the species belongs to the genus Hybosispa but essential characters were not visible or mentioned in the original description. I loaned the holotype and found that it has no seta on anterior margin of pronotum and the inner margins of eyes are produced, therefore I hereby transfer the C. delectabilis to Hybosispa. The species is so far known only from the holotype.
Distribution. Mexico: Chiapas (STAINES 1996).
