Host plant: Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq. ( Asteraceae ).

Biology. We collected this species during the summer when the temperature and humidity were high. The specimens were collected along the side of a road in Huangsang County, at an elevation of 400m to 450m. All specimens were collected in hand-held sweep nets. All of the specimens of this species were collected from the host plant Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq.

Remarks. Based on the description and the figures by Van Stalle (1991) and Guo & Feng (2010), this species closely resembles I. huapingensis in external appearance and male genitalia configuration. Diagnosis of these two species is described under the diagnosis section for I. huapingensis .
