Abstract
Coelana Kramer [= Coelidiana subgenus Coelana DeLong nomen nudum] is revised and its two species, Coelana modesta (Baker) and Coelana drakei Kramer are redescribed. Coelana can be distinguished from other genera of Neocoelidiinae by the presence of a small black spot at the apex of the crown and male genitalia with an inflated pygofer, longer than subgenital plates, with a large ventral hook and laterally with a long suture, extending from the ventral margin to near the dorsal margin. The species are redescribed and illustrated, their geographical distribution is given, and a lectotype for Neocoelidia modesta Baker is designated.References
