Diagnosis.

Apparent body length (ABL) 22-28 mm; similar in general appearance to Cypholoba graphipteroides but distinguished from that species by the color of the pronotal and elytral pubescence and setae. The bands of pubescence on the pronotum and elytral base are yellow in Cypholoba leucospilota (white or grey in Cypholoba graphipteroides ), and the bands of pubescence on the apical third of the elytra are a much brighter white in Cypholoba leucospilota than in Cypholoba graphipteroides .
