Neoheterophrictus madraspatanus is a species of spider in the family Theraphosidae, found in India.[1]
Males vary in body length, ranging from 7 to 20 mm; the largest females are about 19 mm long. Both sexes are brownish in colour, lighter in smaller individuals and darker in larger ones. Males have special structures on the distal end of the tibia of their first legs, including on the ventral side a large curved projection (apophysis) whose apex is divided into three.[2]
