Arnold's Indohya (WAM PSE004) Indohya arnoldstrongi Harvey & Burger, 2023

(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya arnoldstrongi belongs to a group of Indohya species that have 12 setae on the carapace and no eyes. It differs from I. anastomosa, I. aquila and I. humphreysi by the presence of 4 setae on tergite I (only 2 setae in I. anastomosa, I. aquila and I. humphreysi). It differs from all of the others except I. finitima by the rounded distal teeth of the fixed chelal finger (at least 2 distal teeth pointed in I. alexanderi, I. cockingi, I. cribbi, I. damocles, I. draconis, I. jessicae, I. lynbeazleyae, I. sagmata and I. scanloni), and differs from I. finitima by all of the teeth of the fixed chelal finger being rounded, whereas at least some teeth are pointed in I. finitima. It also differs from all other Indohya species for which sequence data are available by three synapomorphies in COI mtDNA: at base 3 there is a substitution to G; at base 78 there is a substitution to T; and at base 313 there is a substitution to T. The six sequenced specimens differ from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 14.729.2%.
