Abstract

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.
