Diagnosis. Male genitalia ( I. calcartibialis holotype). Truncus enlarged on apical region, specially seen by side. Ventral plate hexagonal, distal border straight, lateral borders divergent until basalmost setae, becoming strongly convergent after it, setae not easily distinguished as groups, 5–6 short setae on each side, 1 long (about distal border length), acuminated, curved and subapical setae. Stylus with apex slightly inflated ( Fig. 7 C, D). For a complete diagnosis, see Pinto-da-Rocha & Kury (2003: 197)
