Indoxysticus is a genus of Asian crab spiders that was first described by S. P. Benjamin & Z. Jaleel in 2010.[2] (As of September 2020) it contains three species, all found in Asia: I. lumbricus, I. minutus, and I. tangi.[1] The genus differs from others in its family by the oval-shaped spermathecae with well-defined chambers in females and by the broad-based embolus in males.[3]
They live in vegetation as opposed to related genus Xysticus, which lives on the ground.[2]
