In 1946 Krasnoselskii proved that if every n + 1 points of a compact connected set S in a Euclidean space En can see at least one point of S via S then S is starshaped [1]. This result was expanded by Robkin in 1965 [2]. In this paper, we characterize starshaped sets in En by a local arcwise convexity property relative to a point p.
