Status Briefly described, without figures. Pettibone (1986: 3) stated that ""Types were not available in the Paris Museum for I. hirta and it is considered to be questionable." Some authors treated I. hirta as a synonym of I. muricata. This is obviously paradoxical treatment if the species is so poorly described it is indeterminable. Grube (1876) treated it as a valid species, and differentiated it as having 11 elytral pairs and 26 segments. [details]
