=============================
 
IIRC, there are no male veela (wila, in Slavic myth, vilia in  Celtic).  
There are also no female centaurs in mythology (STAR TREK  convention costumes 
notwithstanding).  Both mythological races reproduced  by breeding with humans of 
the, erm, appropriate gender.  (Though in some  myths, the "Willies" are 
spirits of young girls who die before their wedding day  - cf. Giselle).
