Discussion:
This name was introduced for a deutonymph published by
Berlese (1886)
as
Hydrodroma punicea
Koch, 1837
and by
Piersig (1896/99)
listed as
Hydryphantes puniceus
Koch, 1842
, a synonym of
H. ruber
Geer, 1778
. Since this species name was introduced no attempt has been made to give a definition of its diagnostic characters. As the description was based on a single deutonymph without distinctive morphological characters, we consider it a
species
incerta
.
