New Worlds, different members of it being found in Southern Asia, the greater part 

 of Africa, and nearly the whole of Tropical America. Fewer species, however, occur in 

 the latter continent than in the Old World. 



The type of the genus, C. eligius, is one of the most widely ranging species of 

 America, and is found from Guatemala to Southern Brazil ; two other species occur in 

 Southern Mexico, and about four more in various parts of South America. 



The antennae are long and have a curved club gradually tapering to the end. 

 Terminal joint of the palpi short, semi-erect. Primaries: inner margin slightly longer 

 than the outer, the cell about two-thirds the length of the wing ; discocellulars in an 

 oblique line, the lower longer than the middle; the third median segment short, about 

 one third the second segment. Secondaries : cell more than half the length of the 

 wing ; discocellulars slightly oblique, the lower longer than the upper ; radial just 

 visible ; third median segment short, about one-third the second segment, which again 

 equals the second subcostal segment. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, a dorsal 

 crest, and the male with a long tuft from the proximal end. 



The outer margin of the secondaries of the type is slightly angular, but this feature 

 is not found in the other species of the genus. 



Narga chiriouensis, the type of the genus Narga, Mabille, is quite congeneric with 

 Celamorrhinus.

 to Paragua and Argentina. 



This well-known and common South -American species has a wide ran<?e in our 

 country, reaching the forest-region of both coasts of Guatemala, but not extending to 

 any part of Mexico. 



So far as the continent of America is concerned C. eligius has no very near ally, but 

 the Indian C. chamunda, Moore, much resembles it in markings, though differing in 

 the shape and colour of the fringe of the secondaries.
