Remarks. Like many early descriptions, the original information about I. tuberculatus was limited and has created the tuberculatus -group of species, with a long history of major taxonomic confusion. This nominal species is largely Holarctic ( McInnes 1994), but all reports, including the African records, require further analyses.
