(after Harvery et al. 2023): Indohya adlardi most closely resembles I. rixi and I. sachsei as all three those species have 14 carapaceal setae arranged 4: 2: 4: 2: 2 and they lack eyes. It differs from them by its larger size, e.g. chela (with pedicel) 1.865–2.005 (♀) mm. It also differs from all other Indohya species for which sequence data are available by a synapomorphy in COI mtDNA: at base 47 there is a substitution to G. The three sequenced specimens differ from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 18.2–25.5%.
