I. eximia
is macropterous. It differs from
I. altaica
by the central field of the pterothoracic scuta distinctly paler than the lateral parts. The head has a small pale mark on the occiput and a dark shade in front of the pale frontoclypeal mark, but lacks tranverse marks connecting the eyes.
Size. Fore wing length, mm 10.0–
10.2 mm
, ff slightly larger.
The penial sclerite is of the same general form as in
I. altaica
, but the base is not strikingly wider than the apex and not distinctly crested.
