== Characteristics ==<br />
''Neoheterophrictus'' is similar to ''[[Heterophrictus]]'' and ''[[Plesiophrictus]]'', however the females differ by having a different [[spermatheca]]e structure, which have two receptacles with many lobes/termini at the end. Males are distinguished from ''[[Plesiophrictus]]'' by the absence of a tegular keel on the male [[palpal bulb]]. It occurs in the [[Western Ghats]], [[India]].<ref name="Siliwal et al 2012">{{cite journal|authors=Siliwal, M., N. Gupta & R.
