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]
