Type material not examined, but the original description. Lectotype (designated by Günther (1938) as holotype) female, has label: Calcutta F. S. Both antennae, the right front leg, the tarsi of the left front legand both middle legs, and both hind legs are missing (Hollier 2016). Type locality: India: Kolkata. Notes. Almost nothing is unfortunately known on this species, which is the type species of the genus. Thus, taxonomic acts should be careful before the type specimen (lectotype) is examined and photographs of become available. Günther (1938) examined the type specimens and was one to designate this species as the type of the genus, thus we believe it is morphologically similar to I. hamata, I. birmanica, and I. india. The second type specimen has been placed under I. angulata, presumably by Günther (Hollier 2016). Hitherto, the species was known only from India (Kolkata), and here we report specimens tentatively identified as this species, for the first time from Thailand. Two specimens were found in Tumbrinck's collection (1 ♀ and 1 ♂ Thailand: Tak Province: Doi Mon Kathing, Doi Ka Thing 800 – 1000 m 20. V. 1998. Leg. S. Ingrisch).
