The first species of Psiloptera s.l. of Madagascar differed in very
few characteristics from African Psiloptera of Subgenus Damarsila. Now,
there are several species maintaining most of these "primitive" aspects.
They live in Madagascar, but also in Comores. They are relatively more
important in the Buprestids' Fauna of these small islands than in Madagascar,
where many Polybothris show very strange and specialized structures (very
few species in Comores).
