Hydryphantes
(s.str.)
peroviensis
Udalzow, 1907
Species
incerta
Discussion:
The description of this species is not sufficient for a clear idea of its diagnostic features (
Sokolow 1940
). In his attempt at a redescription,
Biesiadka (1972)
recognized a similarity to
H. planus
, a species that was collected on the same occasion and at the same site, but did not mention clearcut diagnostic differences between these two taxa. As the
holotype
of
H. peroviensis
is lost, a redescription and interpretation of its characteristics is impossible and it must be regarded as
species
incerta
.
