Djojosudharmo, Coll. Deeleman, NNMLeiden. Paratypes: 1 male, 5 females (PBI_OON00031883), collected with holotype.  Additional material examined.1 male, 2 females (PBI_OON00031883), collected with holotype.   Etymology.The species epithet is an adjective meaning “concave” in Latin and refers to the concave shape of the male postepigastric scutum and to the male cheliceral paturon which has a concave retrolateral surface.   Diagnosis.Males of  I. concavus  sp. nov.resemble males of  I. tragicus Edward & Harvey 2014in pedipalp and cheliceral morphology but can be distinguished from the former by the flattened shape of the bulbal tip ( Figs. 32E, G, 33C–F), the hook-shaped retrolateral lobe ( Figs. 33E, F) and also by the shape of the chelicerae with the characteristic process on the fang base and the retrolateral edge of the paturon which appears concave in frontal view ( p, rc, Figs. 32F, H, 34A–D). Another characteristic trait is the concave postepigastric scutum, as the posterior edge of the scutum is protruding ventrally ( pes, Fig. 31F). Females of  I. concavus  sp. nov.can be identified by their genital area with the distinctively shaped winding tube flanked by the two apodemes ( wt, a, Figs. 36A–D). The more sclerotized central part of the postepigastric scutum reminds of the shape of ski goggles if viewed under the light microscope and is very diagnostic ( gsp, Figs. 36C, D).   Description.

Total length 1.63; carapace length: 0.83; carapace width: 0.63; abdomen length; 0.77. CEPHALOTHORAX: Carapacepale orange, with two small dark spots visible on the egg shaped patches ( ds, Fig. 32C), broadly oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view, anteriorly narrowed to 0.49 times its maximum width or less, surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth, sides finely reticulate; lateral margin straight, smooth. Clypeusmargin unmodified, straight in front view, sloping forward in lateral view, high, ALE separated from edge of carapace by their radius or more. Eyessix, well developed, ALE largest, ALE circular, PME oval, PLE oval; posterior eye row procurved from both above and front; ALE separated by less than their radius, ALE-PLE separated by less than ALE radius, PME touching throughout most of their length, PLE- PME touching. Sternumas long as wide, pale orange, uniform, surface smooth, microsculpture absent, lateral margin without infra-coxal grooves, distance between coxae approximately equal, extensions of pre-coxal triangles absent, lateral margins unmodified; setae abundant, dark, needle-like, evenly scattered, originating from surface. Mouthparts:Chelicerae, endites and labium pale orange.
