03922E4FED5AFFA3FF49F975004AF8FD.taxon	discussion	Remark. The freshly collected specimens (Figs 3, 4) have an intense green suffusion on the forewings while the type specimens of I. balinti (Figs 1, 2) almost lack a green suffusion probably due to degrading of the green pigment caused by using a conserving chemical (paradichlore) during the transporting of the material collected.	en	Volynkin, Anton V., Titov, Sergey V., L., I.,., ., ., ., I.
