Note: It is interesting to point out here that, apart from the citations of I. clathrata from Misiones ( Argentina) by Bruch (1911) and Hayward (1935 –1936), this species has not been recorded since in this province, and it is currently found in the area of the Yungas in northwestern Argentina, as well as in the Yungas of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. For a discussion about the distributions of the subspecies of I. clathrata , see Boos & Ratcliffe (1985).
