Packsaddle Indohya (WAM PSE179) Indohya sagmata Harvey & Burger, 2023

(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya sagmata 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 I. cribbi and I. lynbeazleyae by the smooth femur and patella (femur and patella granulate in I. cribbi and I. lynbeazleyae). It differs from I. damocles by its smaller size [e.g. chela (with pedicel) 1.50–1.66 (♂) mm, vs. 2.22–2.32 (♂), 2.22–2.55 (♀) mm in I. damcoles], and from I. jessicae and I. scanloni by its narrow pedipalpal segments [e.g. chela (with pedicel) at least 5.0 × longer than broad; femur at least 6.5 × longer than broad, vs. chela (with pedicel) less than 4.5 × longer than broad; femur less than 6.0 × longer than broad]. There are no unique nucleotide substitutions in COI mtDNA that distinguish this species from all other species of Indohya. The four sequenced specimens differ from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 16.5–29.0%.
