## Etymology

I. bendidis is named after the Thracian goddess Bendis.[2]

## Geographic distribution

I. bendidis is endemic to the island of Samothrace in Greece.[1]

## Conservation status

This species is currently classified by the IUCN as critically endangered and possibly extinct. At the time of its original description it was already considered highly threatened, as the freshwater springs and streams that constitute its habitat are being exploited to provide water for domestic purposes, and recent surveys have failed to find any specimens at any of the five locations it was known from.[1]
