This is a very isolated genus, comprising about ten species, all of which are 
peculiar to the eastern portions of the New World, where they range from Brazil to 
the United States of North America, but have not been detected in the Antilles. 
1. Celina punctata. 
Suboblonga, elongata, transversim convexa, sat nitida, crebre punctata, antennis elongatis gracilibus ; elytris 
serie discoidali obsoleta; pectore dense ruguloso, metasterno medio levigato; corpore apice breviter 
mucronato.

This species is of more convex form than others of the genus, and is remarkable 
on account of its much-punctured surface. The large head is rather closely and finely 
punctate ; all the surface of the thorax is punctate, the punctuation near the hind angles 
dense; and at this spot there is an oblique impression; the hind angles are indistinct 
and rather rounded. The punctuation of the elytra is close and distinct, so that the 
discoidal series of punctures is much obscured; nevertheless it exists, and may easily 
be detected on the basal part. A very fine pubescence is present on the wing-cases. 
I am uncertain as to the sex of the unique individual. ‘The front and middle tibie 
are simple; but their tarsi are quite broad, and, moreover, are clothed beneath with a 
kind of glandular pubescence similar to what exists in the males of many species of 
Agabus ; so that I think, notwithstanding the simple tibie, the specimen may prove to 
bea male. The species is probably allied to C. latipes, Brullé, from the interior of 
Brazil, of which only a single individual is known. 
2. Celina aculeata. 
Celina aculeata, Aubé, Spec. Gén. vi. p. 446. 
Hab. Panama.—Brazit, Santa Rita (Sahlberg). 
This is recorded as Central-American on the authority of a male in bad condition 
purchased by me ten years ago in London. It is probable that this individual may 
prove to be distinct from the Brazilian species. 
3. Celina gracilicornis. 
Suboblonga, parallela, nitida, glabra, rufo-testacea; elytris obscurioribus, sparsim fere obsolete punctatis, serie 
discoidali distincta ; antennis elongatis, gracilibus; coxis posticis sat crebre haud fortiter punctatis ; 
corpore breviter mucronato.
