Distribution analyses

Distribution analyses of 10 Philippine present Celebia species revealed, that all of the known species are distributed at Greater Mindanao (Mindanao, Dinagat, Samar, Leyte, Negros Islands). Only one species was present at more than one island: C. mindanaoensis Leitāne & Rukmane (Mindanao and Dinagat Islands). Enen thouth, at various references Dinagat Island is also considered as a part of Mindanao Island, there are cases for different flightless coleopteran to be distributed both on Mindanao and Dinagat, such is the case, for example, for Pachyrhynchus speciosus Waterhouse, 1841 . Five species are distributed at Mindanao Island: C. merrilli , C. philippinica , C. iligana , C. barsevskisi and C. mindanaoensis . Considering lack of exact data for C. philippinica , species is considered to be distributed at Southern, Central and Eastern part of Mindanao as it is Davao region. All of the rest four species are present at Central part of Mindanao, three at North – East part: C. merrilli , C. iligana , C. mindanaoensis and only one at the Southern part: C. barsevskisi . Two species distributed at Negros Island, one the the Southern part: C. lactospreta and one at the Northern part: C. negrosensis .
