(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya cardo is an epigean species with two pairs of eyes and 14 setae on the carapace, thus resembling I. boltoni, I. julianneae and I. karenae. It differs from them by the prominent and reclined chelal teeth in the basal half of the fixed chelal finger. There are no unique nucleotide substitutions in COI mtDNA, but two specimens from the Bungaroo population had a substitution to G at base 1. The four sequenced specimens differ from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 11.7–28.7%.
