Taxonomic notes. We were unable to examine material of this species. The World Catalogue listed Vayssière (1926) incorrectly as providing a description, illustration and distribution for this species ( Ben-Dov, 2005: 225). In fact, Vayssière provided a description, illustration and distribution of I. sulfurea var. pattersoni Newstead , which was elevated later to species rank. Consequently, the World Catalogue cited Vayssière as providing only taxonomy for I. pattersoni ( Ben-Dov, 2005: 204) .
