Julianne's Indohya (WAM PSE185) Indohya julianneae Harvey & Burger, 2023
Fauna Portal species: 13751Diagnosis
(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya julianneae is an epigean species with two pairs of eyes and 14 setae on the carapace (Fig. 59A), thus resembling I. boltoni, I. cardo and I. karenae. It differs from I. karenae by the less robust chelal hand [hand (without pedicel) 1.54 (♂), 1.54 (♀) 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. boltoni by its smaller size [e.g. chela (with pedicel) less than 0.8 mm, vs. greater than 1.0 mm in I. boltoni]. It also differs from all other Indohya species for which sequence data are available by a synapomorphy in COI mtDNA: at base 436 there is a substitution to G. The single sequenced specimen differs from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 13.8–29.9%.
