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 .
