Javed Ahmed, Rajashree Khalap and Sumukha Javagal published their findings in the Indian Journal of Arachnology.
We're excited to have found this new spider whose shape is similar to the magical sorting hat owned by the wizard [Gryffindor]," Ahmed told The Times of India.
"As a youngster, I was very fond of reading Harry Potter books. So, when I encountered this tiny spider, I thought of the magical hat."
It's a safe bet Ahmed is not a Slytherin.
