Callochiton cupreus n. sp. is described from Lavanono, southern Madagascar. The new species is compared with the three Callochiton species known from Madagascar, C. vanninii Ferreira, 1983, C. clausadeae Kaas & Van Belle, 1985, and C. levatus Kaas & Van Belle, 1998, and all others known from the Indian Ocean.
