Note. — In respect of this species Hogg (supra) makes the 

 following interesting remarks: — "L. Koch described this 

 species from two dried specimens in the Museum at Stuttgart, 

 labelled 'Australia' only. The differences by which he says it 

 may be distinguished from I. insignis, Thor., are that 'the 

 clearly smaller median eyes of the front row are more than 

 their diameter from the rear median,' and the joining by a 

 dark longitudinal marking of the two median pair of muscle- 

 spots on the back. The latter feature seems a by no means 

 uncommon variation in any species, whenever the back spots 

 are specially well developed, and the former is almost univer- 

 sally the case with females of I. insignis, Thor. I have, there- 

 fore, great doubts a6 to its being really a separate species ; if 

 it is, the joining of the back spots is its only distinctive char- 

 acter. The Horn Expedition had several specimens from 

 Central Australia, both male and female, with back markings 

 as described, very flat cephalothorax, but front row of eyes 

 equal, and I have similar from Victoria, otherwise the same 

 as I. insignis."
