Name

Selinus Mulsant & Rey, 1853 – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile

  • Selinus Mulsant & Rey, 1853a: 322. – Lacordaire 1859[1]: 241, Gemminger and de Harold 1870[2]: 1915; Gebien 1910[3]: 277, 1938[4]: 297; Koch 1956[5]: 242; Iwan 2001b[6]: 352, 2002a[7]: 100, 2002b[8]: 302, 2004a[9]: 541, 2004b[10]: 739, 2005[11]: 615; Iwan and Banaszkiewicz 2005[12]: 603, 2007[13]: 725.

Type species

Opatrum planum Fabricius, 1792; designated by Gebien (1938)[4].

Diagnosis

The following character combination is unique for Selinus within the whole subtribe Platynotina: (1) anterior tentorial pit deep, clearly visible, (2) antennomeres from 7 to 11 elongated (their length greater than the width), (3) pronotum widest at the base, (4) 5th abdominal ventrite bordered, (5) paraproct longer than coxites, (6) clavae long, their length more than half of the length of parameres.

Distribution

Specimens of this genus have been collected in the following ecoregions of West Africa (Ivory Coast, Republic of Benin, Republic of Ghana, Republic of Guinea, Republic of Mali, Togolese Republic): Eastern Guinean forests, Guinean forest-savanna mosaic, West Sudanian savanna, Western Guinean lowland forests (Fig. 44).

Species included (2)

Selinus planus (Fabricius, 1792) and Selinus striatus (Fabricius, 1794).

  Selinus planus
–
Body size: 10.0–11.0 mm. Pronotal sides parallel in their basal half. Pronotal and elytral surface with conspicuous punctures (the intervals between the punctures are smaller than the diameter of the puncture). Male protibiae with very shallow dilatation near the middle
