Selmania minima is a species of leaf beetle. It is distributed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo[4] and Sudan.[5] It was first described by the Belgian entomologist Louis Jules Léon Burgeon [nl] in 1942, from specimens collected by Gaston-François de Witte from the Albert National Park between 1933 and 1935. Host plants for the species include Combretum binderianum.[5]
