Afroeurydemus selmani is a species of leaf beetle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [3] It was originally described by Brian J. Selman in 1972 as Afroeurydemus signatus. In 2019, this species became a homonym of Afroeurydemus signatus (Pic, 1940), a species formerly placed in Syagrus and moved to Afroeurydemus by Stefano Zoia. Selman's species was then renamed to Afroeurydemus selmani.
