Neoheterophrictus uttarakannada is a species of Neoheterophrictus from India. It was first described in 2012 by Manju Siliwal, Neha Gupta, & Robert John Raven.[1] Its name comes from the place where it was discovered, Uttara Kannada.[2]
Characteristics
The species is only known from the female. It is identified by two short spermathecae receptacles (which show some constriction at the ends), with multiple (6-7) large contiguous lobes at the end. Its legs have short yellow-orange tarsal hairs, and the full body colour is grey-brown. It makes temporary holes under stones.[3]
