Neoheterophrictus bhori is a species of tarantula. It is native to Parambiculam, Western Ghats, Cochin province, India, in present-day Kerala state. [2]
The species name comes from the name of Mr. J. Bhore, the Dewan of Cochin, who aided Frederic Henry Gravely in his scientific research. [2]
This species is currently only known from the female. It is found in bamboo forest, which is unusual as few arthropods are found in such an environment. It differs from other species mainly by the spines on its legs; the first leg has a small inner apical spine on the tibia, and the second has the same spine only at an earlier stage and is accompanied by a mid-apical spine and an outer apical spine. It also lacks white setae on the extremities of the legs. It is brown, and slightly darker brown on the abdomen. [2] The multi-lobular spermathecae are thinner than in Neoheterophrictus sahyadri and wider than in Neoheterophrictus uttarakannada or Neoheterophrictus crurofulvus . [3]
Austracantha is a genus of spider with a single species, Austracantha minax, commonly known as the jewel spider or the Christmas spider. It is a member of the family Araneidae and is endemic to Australia. They are relatively small spiders, reaching a maximum total body length of only around 12 mm (0.47 in) for females, and 5 mm (0.20 in) for males. Their abdomen has six distinctive projections ("spines") that makes them easy to identify. They are predominantly a shiny black, with variable white, yellow, and orange patterns. Melanistic forms also occur during autumn. They are facultatively gregarious, and can be found in large aggregations of overlapping orb webs. They feed on small flying insects that get entangled in their webs. They are harmless to humans, though the webs can be a nuisance for bushwalkers. They are most abundant during the summer months.

Annandaliella is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by A. S. Hirst in 1909. As of December 2019 it contains three species endemic to India: A. ernakulamensis, A. pectinifera, and A. travancorica. They are selenogyrid tarantulas, meaning they have a stridulating organ on the inner side of the chelicerae.
The Bombay caecilian is an amphibian found in India. This rather large species is found in the northern Western Ghats. The eyes are distinct and surrounded by a light ring. The tentacle is placed closer to the lip than the eye. A dark brown or greyish-brown species, it has no lateral stripes.

Neoheterophrictus sahyadri is a spider species in the genus Neoheterophrictus. It was first described in 2012 by Manju Siliwal, Neha Gupta, and Robert John Raven. Its name "sahyadri" comes from the vernacular name for the Western Ghats, a mountain range in India where it was discovered.
