Hydryphantes (Hydryphantes) fontinalis Sokolow, 1936

Records from Turkey: Bingöl Province (Esen et al. 2019).

Remark: Hydryphantes fontinalis , Hydryphantes baderi Özkan, 1982 and Hydryphantes yalvaci Özkan, 1982 are very similar to each: However, H. fontinalis can be easly distinguished from H.baderi by the presence of a shorter blade-like cheliceral claw and a few more swimming seta numbers (in H. baderi basal segment/claw ratio 0.8, swimming seta numbers IV-L-3, 1; IV-L-4, 3; IV-L-5, 6). H. yalvaci differs from H. fontinalis in complete reduction of swimming setae ( Di Sabatino et al. 2010).

Habitat: Springs.

Distribution: Russia, Italian Alps and Turkey.
