Cephaloleia angustacollis is a species of beetle of the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Ecuador. [1]
Adults reach a length of about 9.1–10.3 mm. Adults are pale yellow. The pronotum has a black demilune-shape behind the head and the elytron has a wide black transverse band behind the middle, a dark macula laterally on the humerus, and anelongate dark macula covering puncture rows 9 and 10 from the humerus to just before the middle.
The hostplant is unknown, but adults have been collected on Calathea species.
The species name is derived from Latin angustus (meaning narrow) and collis (meaning neck) and refers to the narrow pronotum in this species. [2]
