Remarks. This species is largely Palaearctic with limited reports from other regions ( McInnes 1994), indicative of a probable species complex. The original description for I. prosostomus requires a re-evaluation of the type material to clarify the confused descriptions. For example, Haspeslagh (1982) corroborates Cuenot (1932) noting a “characteristic oblique cuticular bar” at the base of claws I–III, which was absent in the original description ( Thulin 1911, 1928).
