Typhlops Indohya Indohya typhlops Harvey, 1993

(after Harvey et al. 2023): Indohya typhlops has 16 setae on the carapace setae and lacks eyes, thus resembling I. currani, I. gollum and I. napierensis. It differs from I. gollum and I. napierensis in being smaller [e.g. chela (with pedicel) 0.77 (♀) mm vs. greater than 1.8 mm in I. gollum and I. napierensis], and from I. currani by its broader chela [chela (with pedicel) 3.21 (♀) × longer than broad vs. 3.98 (♀) × longer than broad in I. currani] and by having more teeth on the fixed chelal finger [41 teeth (♀), vs. 46 teeth (♀). It also differs from all other Indohya species for which sequence data are available by three synapomorphies in COI mtDNA: at base 172 there is a substitution to G; at base 286 there is a substitution to T; and at base 492 there is a substitution to A. The two sequenced specimens differ from all other sequenced specimens of Indohya by 18.8–26.4%.
