Diagnosis.
5.0-5.5 mm long (mean = 5.2 mm; n = 5); 2.27-2.5 × as long as wide. Most closely resembles I. colossus (Blandford, 1896), which occurs in Papua New Guinea. Immanus desectus is distinguished by the smaller size; truncate declivity with a circumdeclivital costa; and two or three denticles on declivital interstriae 2 rather than a row of denticles.
