First we introduce the notion of parallel Ricci tensor ${\nabla }\mathrm {Ric}=0$ for real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric Qm = SOm+2/SOmSO2 and show that the unit normal vector field N is singular. Next we give a new classification of real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric Qm = SOm+2/SOmSO2 with parallel Ricci tensor.
