The species was described by Hendrik Freitag of the Senckenberg Museum of Zoology in Dresden, Germany, having previously been included in a wider circumscription of I. unicorn.^[1] The species is endemic to the island of Palawan, where it has a wide distribution.^[2] The striking iridescent purple coloration may help the crabs to recognise others of its species,^[2] or may serve no purpose.^[3]
