Cribb's Indohya (WAM PSE180) Indohya cribbi Harvey & Burger

(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya cribbi 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, I. cockingi and I. finitima by having numerous pointed teeth on the fixed chelal finger, and from all except I. lynbeazleyae by the granulate pedipalpal femur and patella (smooth or at most only partially granulate in the others). It differs from I. lynbeazleyae by the median setal row of the carapace being slightly recurved. It also differs from all other Indohya species for which sequence data are available by two synapomorphies in COI mtDNA: at base 209 there is a substitution to C; and at base 211 there is a substitution to T. The seven sequenced specimens differ from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 11.6–26.2%.
