Hydrachna papilligera

Species incerta
Material examined:

Kühne.
Discussion: This species was described from a single deutonymph. Later, the author himself proposed its synonymy to
H. skorikowi
(see
K. Viets 1936
). In view of the difficulties of associating nymphs to conspecific adults, it must be considered a
species incerta
.
