Description

For a detailed description, refer to Zamani & Marusik (2022).

Remarks

A comparative evaluation of the current material with published illustrations of I. lindbergi from Pakistan (cf. Figs 19–20 View Fig View Fig ; Zamani & Marusik 2022: figs 1a, c–f, 2a–c) revealed minor morphological discrepancies. These include a ventro-retrolateral apophysis that is slightly curved rather than distinctly humped, and a bilobed Br structure as opposed to the simple, unlobed form depicted in the Pakistani specimens. Given these minor yet notable differences, we consider that additional material is required to conclusively determine the taxonomic status of this population.

Distribution

This species was formerly recorded from the Parwan and Kabul provinces in eastern Afghanistan and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in Pakistan ( Zamani & Marusik 2022); thus, this is the third report of this species in Afghanistan.
