Distribution and remarks. Indohya haroldi has been recorded from a single location in the Northern Kimberley bioregion ( Fig. 6A ). The specimens were collected from the underside of rocks.

Conservation assessment. Indohya haroldi has only been collected at a single location, but there is no reason to believe that it is not more widely distributed in the local area. The species does not meet the status of threatened using the criteria developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (2012).
