(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya boltoni is an epigean species with two pairs of eyes and 14 setae on the carapace, thus resembling I. cardo, I. julianneae and I. karenae. It differs from I. karenae by the less robust chelal hand [hand (without pedicel) 1.63–1.92 (♂) ×, 1.62–1.86 (♀) × longer than broad, vs. 1.39 (♀) in I. karenae], from I. cardo by the less prominent chelal teeth in the basal half of the fixed chelal finger, and from I. julianneae by its larger size [e.g. chela (with pedicel) greater than 1.0 mm, vs. less than 0.8 mm in I. julianneae].
The species was previously identified as Indohya PSE002.

Fauna Portal Records
The map shows all records that have been verified as part of the Fauna Portal project and may not represent the true distribution of a species. Specifically, for described species, check the link to the Atlas of Living Australia on this page for potential wider distributions. Fauna Portal Reference specimens and Linnean types are shown in red. If you identified a specimen that exceeds the distribution of an undescribed species as illustrated here, please contact the Fauna Portal team who can assist with the lodgement of the specimen in a public institution and display on the map.
