Georgella berlesei (Piersig, 1901)

Hydryphantes berlesei Piersig, 1901 , auct. Species incerta

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 .
