Polposipus herculeanus, the Frégate Island giant tenebrionid beetle or Frégate beetle, is a flightless species of beetle in family Tenebrionidae. It is the only species in the genus Polposipus. It is endemic to Frégate Island in the Seychelles. It grows to be about long and has a hard, rounded abdomen covered with tubercles. There appears to be no sexual dimorphism. It is largely arboreal, sheltering under the bark of trees, beneath the crooks of branches, and within bushes during the day. It is believed to be nocturnal, descending to the forest floor at night, though never travelling far. Thi
