Indoxysticus is a small genus of crab spiders native to Asia. 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 (terminal portion of the palpal organ) in males.[1][2] They live in vegetation as opposed to related genus Xysticus, which lives on the ground.[2]
