Primarily a taxonomic review of the West Indian elements of the selenophorine   Harpalini  , this paper includes a classification, a key, descriptions and illustrations of taxa, re-rankings, and new synonymies. In total, 45 species and subspecies are treated, six of which are described as new. A new genus and new species are as follows, with type localities in parentheses:    Paraulacoryssus    gen. n. , (type species    Selenophorus   puertoricensis    Mutchler, 1934);    Neodiachipteryx   davidsoni    sp. n. , (Zamba, Dominican Republic);    Selenophorus   spinosus    sp. n. ,  seriatoporus  species group (Benjamin Constant, state of Amazonas, Brazil);    Selenophorus   obtusoides    sp. n. ,  parumpunctatus  species group (near Soroa, Pinar del Rio Province, Cuba);    Selenophorus   iviei    sp. n. ,  nonseriatus  species group (Big River, Montserrat,   16°45.719N', 62°11.335W  ');    Selenophorus   irec    sp. n. ,  nonseriatus  species group (Vernou, Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles); and    Selenophorus   fabricii    sp. n. ,  opalinus  species group (Cabo Rojo, Pedernales Province, Dominican Republic). This last species was misidentified as    Selenophorus   integer    (Fabricius). In turn, that species was misidentified as    Selenophorus   chalybeus    Dejean.    Selenophorus   chalybeus    Dejean is a junior synonym of    Selenophorus   integer    Fabricius,  syn. n. ; and    Isopleurus   macleayi    Kirby is a junior synonym of    Selenophorus   pyritosus    Dejean,  syn. n.Biogeographically, log of land area plotted against log of number of species shows that the equilibrium theory of biogeography applies to the West Indian selenophorine fauna.Taxonomically, the selenophorine taxa of the West Indies are arranged in eight genera. The 30 species/subspecies of    Selenophorus    ( sensu stricto ) are arranged in 10 species groups. Geographically, the major sources of the selenophorines are the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles and Lesser Antilles. The West Indian islands probably have been invaded by 26 taxa. Of the currently extant taxa, 11 are classified as  immigrant , meaning that they are represented both in the islands and on the mainland (South America or Middle America and southern Florida). Thirty three taxa are classified as  precinctive , meaning that they originated where they are now living, the implication being that they have descended from immigrants, thus older in the islands than the current-day immigrants.It is postulated that the West Indian taxa represent three age groups: oldest, ancestors having reached the proto-Antilles by a landspan known as GAARlandia; a middle-age group (Neogene period), their ancestors having reached the islands by dispersal over water, between islands; and a young group of extant taxa, no older than the Pleistocene, also having reached the islands over water.
