Remarks.
This member of the
tuberculatus
-group has a history of major taxonomic confusion with
I. bakonyiensis
(now the junior synonym), but was re-described from a Richters’ 1905 slide in the Senckenberg Museum (
Germany
) by Dastych (1990). Nevertheless, the literature-based, supposed, cosmopolitan distribution (
McInnes 1994
), requires major taxonomic re-evaluation of all specimens attributed to
I. sattleri
.
