Massartia Selman, 1965 (nec Conrad, 1926, nec Schouteden, 1952)[2] | |
Selmania is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa.[3] Most of the species in the genus were originally placed in Rhembastus.[2]
The genus was originally named Massartia by Brian John Selman in 1965, but it was later found that the name had already been used for a dinoflagellate and a hemipteran. Because of this, Stefano Zoia renamed the genus to Selmania in 2019.[1]

Eight species are included in the genus:[1]
- Selmania albertiana (Burgeon, 1941)
