According to the African Eumolpinae website (particularly this page that lists current names for many species and some genera), Massartia Selman, 1965 has been renamed to Selmania Zoia, 2019; however, I am not certain where this new name was published. My best guess, based on the cited publication for the new species Selmania hartmanii, is that Selmania was published in the following article:

  • Zoia, S. 2019. New data on African Eumolpinae with description of new taxa from the collections of the Natural History Museum of Erfurt (Insecta: Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Vernate 38: 305–333.

As a side note, I cannot find much online about volume 38 of Vernate as of writing (let alone Zoia's article in it); for some of the recent Vernate volumes, ConchBooks at least seems to provide some information, giving a list of articles and a list of new taxa (e.g. 35, 36, 37), but for Vernate 38 there is no ConchBooks page, no list of new taxa stated anywhere. (Even the series website does not appear to have been updated since 2018...) Monster Iestyn (talk) 03:19, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

The above has been confirmed now that Vernate volume 38 is actually freely available online. Monster Iestyn (talk) 23:04, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
