The male paratype collected in 2017 was reported as I. myops in ASSING &amp; SCHÜLKE (2017). The specimens were mostly sifted from litter in moist deciduous forests, often with rhododendron undergrowth; few specimens were collected by soil-washing. The altitudes range from 150 to approximately 600 m. In some localities, the species was collected together with I. myops and/or I. molle . Some of the type specimens collected in May are more or less distinctly teneral.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B861878DFFB99B1161FECC8AFE19F6D5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
