Cocking's Indohya (WAM PSE005) Indohya cockingi Harvey & Burger, 2023

(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya cockingi 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 I. arnoldstrongi and I. finitima by having more than two of the distal teeth of the fixed chelal finger being pointed. It differs from all of the others by all of the teeth of the fixed chelal finger rounded except for 5–7 distal teeth and occasionally the basal-most tooth (many pointed teeth in I. alexanderi, I. cribbi, I. damocles, I. draconis, I. jessicae, I. lynbeazleyae, I. sagmata and I. scanloni). It also differs from all other Indohya species for which sequence data are available by three synapomorphies in COI mtDNA: at base 49 there is a substitution to G; at base 514 there is a substitution to G; and at base 615 there is a substitution to G. The single sequenced specimen differs from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 15.6–30.5%.
