Last worldwide revision of this taxon ( Kotov & Williams 2000 ; Kotov & Dumont 2000 ) did not reveal differences between populations from different continents. Therefore, I. halyi described from Asia (i.e. reported by Biswas 1971 , 1980 ) is a junior synonym of I. spinifer described from North America (see Michael & Sharma B.K. 1988; Kotov & Dumont 2000 ). Distribution. Cosmopolitan ( Kotov & Dumont 2000 ).
