Darkest and most prominent in Hela Hela observation
Lighter in UmPhafa observation
Different in Kerkenberg observation (bands of pale orange on abdomen)

Most prominent in Hela Hela observation
Slightly less prominent in Kerkenberg observation
Near absent in UmPahafa observation

I. tabulata: Abdominal spikes projecting outwards, to the sides around the abdominal perimeter
I. cicatricosa: Abdominal spikes much shorter, more rounded and concentrated in the inner margin pointing upwards

Floral scales sometimes present on inner, tapering upper surface of perianth often in the form of a partial hood/ arch, but shape, size and presence varies widely between species
