Neoheterophrictus smithi is a species of tarantulas, native to India. [1] [2]
The specific name smithi is in honour of Andrew M. Smith, who helped the authors with their project. [2]
Neoheterophrictus smithi mainly differs from other species of Neoheterophrictus by the presence of a long, thin spine on the base of the primary tibial apophysis. The primary tibial apophysis also ends in a spine. It has no sub-apical swelling as in N. amboli .
The bark mantises and ground mantises are praying mantids now placed in the family Eremiaphilidae that are native to the Afrotropics. They are generally light brown but more silvery on the wings. The wings are attractively reticulated, and the veins may be mottled dark and pale. The head is wider than the pronotum, which is rounded anteriorly, and doesn't overlap with the rear of the head. The pronotum is depressed, with its sides more or less parallel, and only a weak supra-coxal bulge is present. The anterior tibia are flattened and greatly expanded longitudinally, and the tibial claw does not fit into a pit between the 1st and 2nd external spines of the anterior femora, as in a few mantis groups.
Theraphosa apophysis is a species of spider in the family Theraphosidae, found in Venezuela and Brazil.

Scalidognathus is a genus of Asian armored trapdoor spiders that was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1892. Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, it was moved to the Idiopidae in 1985.
Cnemaspis girii, also known as Giri's day gecko, is a species of geckos in the genus Cnemaspis described in 2014. The species, found in the forests of the Kaas plateau in Satara district, Maharashtra, India, was discovered by researchers from Bangalore's National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) and Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES). The gecko lives under rocks and hollowed out trees near water bodies within its range.
The Ischnocolinae are a problematic subfamily of tarantulas. In 1892, Eugène Simon based the group, which he noted was only weakly homogeneous, on the presence of divided tarsal scopulae. This feature was later considered to be plesiomorphic, and both morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that, as traditionally circumscribed, the subfamily is not monophyletic. A much more narrowly defined Ischnocolinae sensu stricto was proposed in 2014. One of the authors of that proposal subsequently said that no further taxonomic changes should be considered until there had been a more comprehensive sampling of the subfamily. As of January 2021, the status of the Ischnocolinae remains unresolved.
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.
