Dorsal view of habitus as in Fig. 2A View Fig .
Body and antennae black, elytra and head shiny, pronotum, legs and underside opaque. with markings composed of light brown scales with pink luster.
Head subovate, with black longitudinal line without scales stretching from base of forehead to apex of rostrum; light brown scales at remaining parts, light, shimmery scales circumscribing each eye and behind eyes; forehead slightly elevated dorsally, more than three times as wide as eye; eyes small, convex; rostrum widest at apical 1/3, then gradually decreasing, impressed just before middle, narrowing to base; densely covered with light brown scales except of median longitudinal black line, underside with short, sparse, light hairs, hairs denser and longer near labrum; antennal scrobe from subapical part of the rostrum to basal margin of the eye; antenna slender, scape incurved ventrally, mixed with short light hairs along internal margin; funicle I slightly shorter than II, two and a half times as long as wide, funicle II three times as long as wide, funicle III two times shorter than II, longer than IV, funicles IV–VI sub-equal, same in proportions, funicle VII longer, one and half times as long as wide; club sub-ellipsoidal, with narrowed base, with light brown pubescence, remaining antennomer dark brown, about three times as long as wide.
Pronotum subcylindrical, evenly covered with light brown scales on disc, except of black median longitudinal line without scales; lateral parts with longitudinal line along midline of markedly denser scales; moderately rounded (dorsal view), widest at middle.
Elytra subovate, moderately rugose, narrowed at basal 1/3, straightened to apical ¼ and narrowed to apex, densely covered with light brown scales, interrupted by black longitudinal elevations without scales; each elytron with sutural longitudinal elevation and five additional elevations from suture to lateral margin; scutellum rounded, covered with short light brown hairs.
Underside densely covered with round light brown scales, mixed with short light brown dense hairs.
Legs thick densely covered with small light brown scales with pink luster; entire length of femur with short light brown hairs; entire length of tibia with longer light brown hairs, hairs markedly denser along internal margin; tarsomeres I and II subequal, base of basal tarsomere narrow.

Differential diagnosis. This is the first record of Celebia from the Negros Island and current species is similar to C. iligana Schultze, 1922 and C. barsevskisi sp. nov. by its longitudinal elevations on elytra, but it can be distinguished by the following characters: 1) body of C. negrosensis sp. nov. covered with light brown scales with pink luster, body of C. iligana and C. barsevskisi sp. nov. covered with metallic green, blue and yellow scales; 2) aedeagal body of C. negrosensis sp. nov. much smaller, less convex, apex with small V-shaped curvature.
Distribution. Negros Island, Philippines.
Etymology. This species is named after the Negros Island where it is originally distributed.
