Name

Riccardoella jenynsi Thor, 1933

• Type locality: from Limax variegatus, Cambridge (United Kingdom)
• Holotype: ?

Synonyms

• Riccardoella oudemansi, sen. synonym according to Oudemans (1937: 1093) and Fain & Van Goethem (1986: 131)
• Riccardoella (Riccardoella) limacum, sen. synonym according to Turk & Phillips (1945), synonymy rejected by Fain & Van Goethem (1986: 127)

Notes

• Jenyns (1831) proposed for Schrank's species a new generic name, Philodromus.
• Philodromus was preoccupied (generic name already used for spiders) and specimens studied by Jenyns were considered as a new species described by Thor (1933: 66).
