Fauna Portal species: 13747Diagnosis
(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya finitima 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. arnoldstrongi 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 at least some of the teeth of the fixed chelal finger being pointed, whereas all teeth are rounded in I. finitima. It also differs from all other Indohya species for which sequence data are available by a synapomorphy in COI mtDNA: at base 59 there is a substitution to G.
