Indian records. Andaman & Nicobar Islands — Venkataraman (1991b, 2000a); Andhra Pradesh — Chandrasekhar (2010); Assam —Sharma S. (2008a, b); Bihar —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2001); Goa— Rane (2008); Karnataka — Patil & Gouder (1988); Kerala — Biswas (1971), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Subhash Babu & Nayar (2004), Subhash Babu & Thomas (2007), Balaraman (2008); Maharashtra — Rane (2002, 2004, 2005a, 2006), Vanjare et al. (2010); Manipur —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S.

(1998), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).

Remarks. It was described from USA (Herrick 1882). Last worldwide revision of this taxon (Kotov & Williams 2000; Kotov & Dumont 2000) did not reveal differences between populations from different continents. Therefore, I. halyi described from Asia (i.e. reported by Biswas 1971, 1980) is a junior synonym of I. spinifer described from North America (see Michael & Sharma B.K. 1988; Kotov & Dumont 2000).

Distribution. Cosmopolitan (Kotov & Dumont 2000).
