[1] Except for the first segment which is sparsely populated with tubercles, the abdomen is covered in numerous evenly spaced spinules.

[1] N. indicus is known from three female specimens collected in the southeastern Arabian Sea off the coast of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, India from 2013 to 2014.

[1] These three specimens were found at depths between 1,064–1,338 m (3,491–4,390 ft) in the mid-continental slope on a bathymetric protrusion known as the Terrace of Trivandrum.

[1] It is likely conspecific with Neolithodes alcocoki, a nomen nudum suggested in the 1980s,[1] and it was originally identified erroneously as Lithodes agassizii[a] by A.R.S.

[1][3] N. indicus most closely resembles N. brodiei from New Zealand, N. flindersi from southeastern Australia, and N. nipponensis from Japan and Taiwan.
