Abstract
The genus Indoxysticus, established by Benjamin and Jaleel in 2010 with the type species Xysticus minutus (Tikader, 1960), differs from other thomisids by the oval spermathecae with well-defined chambers in the female and by the broad-based embolus in the male (Benjamin & Jaleel 2010). At present, the genus includes only two species, I. minutus (Tikader, 1960) and I. lumbricus Tang & Li, 2010 (Platnick 2012), which are known from India and China, respectively (Tikader 1960; Tang & Li 2010).
