(1991).</p><p>The classification of Selenophorus Dejean is based principally on details of the male genitalia, with sequence of species groups being alphabetical. Like the selenophorine groups, the members are arranged alphabetically according to species name.</p><p>Because of the remarkable structure of the female genital tract and its similarity to that of Neoaulacoryssus Noonan, we place Selenophorus puertoricensis Mutchler in a new monobasic genus named Paraulacoryssus gen. n., following Neoaulacoryssus in a linear arrangement.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Noonan (1985a: 4-8) discussed the definition and composition of the New World Selenophori group, and included a detailed description of adult selenophorines. In this paper we limit the West Indian Selenophori group to harpaline adults that have seta bearing punctures in striae 2 and 5 or in striae 2, 5 and 7 which includes the following genera: Neoaulacoryssus Noonan, Paraulacoryssus gen. n., Athrostictus Bates, Amblygnathus Dejean, Neodiachipteryx Noonan, Selenophorus Dejean, Stenomorphus Dejean and Discoderus LeConte.</p><p>Way of life.</p><p>Information available in the form of label data about this topic is limited, as shown by number of species (Table 2) and number of specimens per species (Table 3). Basically, selenophorines are geophilous and lowland. Collectively, they occupy habitats ranging from swamps to desert and from fresh water to brackish tidal flats. They are night-active, adults of most species being macropterous, many being taken by light traps.</p><p>Key to genera and species of West Indian Selenophori Group</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A2F285932E4C140C7C564666E425D9AA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The everted endophallus of both N. cupripennis and N. speciosus was examined, as the form of the phallic median lobe was nearly identical. The three spine fields were similar in placement on the surface of the everted endophallus and length of spines, but differed in size and shape of the field.

In his next sentence, Putzeys stated that he believed that this specimen was “Antillean” (West Indies). Csiki (1932) listed this species from "? Antillean", Darlington (1934) followed with "doubtfully Antillean" and both Blackwelder (1944) and Erwin and Sims (1984) simply listed it as "West Indies". Until another specimen is found, neither a type locality nor a type area can be designated.</p><p>We have seen two undetermined Selenophorus (hylacis species group) specimens, both different species, collected in Brazil, one from São Paulo and the other from the Federal District, that are quite similar in habitus and coloration to the holotype of S. dubius .

Head, posterio lateral surface of pronotum and elytra with mesh pattern isodiametric; pronotal disc with mesh pattern slightly transverse, sculpticells about 2 × wide as long.

Habitus as in Fig. 66D. Clypeus and labrum each with anterior margin moderately concave. Antennae, mouthparts and legs testaceous to slightly darker. Head, pronotum and ventral surface testaceous to rufo-testaceus. Elytra testaceous to rufo-testaceus, with darker median cloud in intervals 2-6. Head and disc of pronotum shiny, at 100 × no visible microlines in males, only few microlines visible in females; posteriolateral surface of pronotum with mesh pattern isodiametric; elytral surface with mesh pattern slightly transverse, sculpticells about 1.5 × wide as long.
