Remarks. This species was not studied. However, it has very characteristic coloration shown in the illustration provided in the original description. Hamilton (1980: 878) transferred the species to Agalliini and thought it probably belonged to the genus Austroagallia . The species is black with paler areas on the head and with apices of the femora and bases of the tibiae, claval veins and claval suture, red. This color combination is unique among the Oriental Agalliini . I. nigrita resembles male Japanagallia . However, the claval veins are not joined by a cross vein and hence the species is placed in the genus Igerna .
