dct:abstract

A new species of the mostly Australo-Malesian genus Amystrops Reitter, 1875, is described from Reunion Island: Amystrops titanus n. sp. The new species, likely developing on an endemic species of Pandanus (Pandanaceae), is probably more closely related to a lineage of Australian species than to A. seychellensis. species geographically more nearby known from Seychelles Islands. Brief considerations are finally exposed about the so called Eocene-Oligocene %22Lemurian Stepping-stones%22 scenario and other alternative biogeographic scenarios, in order to explain the occurence in Mascarene and Seychelles Islands of representatives of a chiefly %22Australasian%22 genus without affinities with any African relative. An updated checklist of Nitidulidae from Reunion Island is finally included.
