Holotype information. Type locality: Vietnam: Sonla Province , Song Ma. Deposited at Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia (not examined).
Materials examined. China: 2 males, Yunnan, Mengla, Longmen , 20-v-2008, Libin Ma coll. ; 5 males, Yunnan, Cangyuan, Banlao , 8-vi-2013, Libin Ma coll. ; 2 females, Yunnan, Cangyuan, Banlao , 8-vi-2013, Libin Ma coll ..
Description. Male. Body size medium for the genus. Head small. Occiput somewhat broad. Ocelli small, median ocellus ovoid and lateral ones expanded. Antennal scape rounded and shield like, nearly as wide as rostrum. Labrum apical margin almost straight. Terminal maxillary palpus truncated, longer than 3rd palpus. Terminal labial palpus rod-like and apex truncated, almost equal to total length of remaining palpi. Pronotal disc trapezoidal, depressed around median groove and armed with apical and basal margins straight ( Fig. 5A View FIGURE 5 ). Harp area with 5 (sometimes 4) oblique veins. False veins positioned in harp field and mirror. Apical field of elytra short, equal or slightly longer than width and armed with 7 branches ( Fig. 5A View FIGURE 5 ). Hind wings elongate, visible portion almost as long as apical field. External tympanum slightly smaller and ovoid. Hind tarsus armed with short dorsal spines (inner and outer numbered 6:7).
Metanotal gland armed with transverse and sinuate convexity anteriorly, shallow and U-like concavity medially ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ). Anal plate tongue-shaped, half of basal sides ridged and apically rounded ( Fig. 5D View FIGURE 5 ).
Male genitalia ( Figs. 5 View FIGURE 5 E–5G). Dorsal lobe of basal epiphallus bisinuate, lateral process somewhat evenly thickened and median process short ( Fig. 5E View FIGURE 5 ). Lateral edges of epiphallus expanded from middle to apex. In lateral view, epiphallic apex somewhat extended upward, slightly squared apically and armed with denticles dorsally ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ); in dorsal view, epiphallic apex armed with straight inner margin and outer margin widely concave ( Fig. 5E View FIGURE 5 ).
Female. Similar to male ( Fig. 5B View FIGURE 5 ). Ovipositor very longer than hind tibia, almost two times longer than the latter; its apex and episternites both slightly blunt ( Figs. 13A View FIGURE 13 , 14A View FIGURE 14 ).
Coloration. Body color light brown. Head colored dark. Pronotal disc color light brown, but proximally dark and ornamented with dark fan-shaped patterns medially.
Measurements. Male (n=7). BL 17.85±1.88, HW 2.81±0.37, PL 2.03±0.33, PW 3.53±0.45, FWL 14.71±1.06, HWL 3.94±0.34, DVL 3.74±0.26, ML 3.40±0.45, HFL 8.07±0.87, HTL 5.43±0.71, HML 4.03±0.28. Female (n=2). BL 16.85±1.20, HW 2.99±0.32, PL 1.91±0.22, PW 3.73, FWL 13.80, HWL 5.43, HFL 7.78±0.86, HTL 5.56±0.54, HML 4.15±0.40, OL 10.42±0.68.
Remarks. This species is very similar to I. (I.) aperta and I. (I.) vietnamensis in both body features and genitalia, but its epiphallic apex acute and curved upward in lateral view.
