Subgenus Selenophorus (sensu stricto)

Synonymy.

See Selenophorus (sensu lato), above.

Recognition.

Members of this subgenus have the hind tarsus distinctly shorter than the hind tibia. Additionally, males of all species in this subgenus do not have a lamina present near the base of the endophallus of the phallic median lobe. Identification of members is best done by using keys based on external structural features.

Included taxa.

Twenty-two species of subgenus Selenophorus , arranged in seven species groups, inhabit the West Indies.
