Porrhoclubiona is a genus of sac spiders that was first described as a subgenus of Clubiona by H. Lohmander in 1944.[2] Clubiona is a polyphyletic group that has been divided and reorganized many times, and whether this genus is a synonym of Clubiona[3][4] or an independent genus[5][6] is still under debate.[1]

Species

As of October 2019 it contains thirteen species, found in Africa, Europe, and Asia:[1]

In synonymy:

  • P. baborensis (Denis, 1937) = Porrhoclubiona diniensis (Simon, 1878)
  • P. parallelos (Yin, Yan, Gong & Kim, 1996) = Porrhoclubiona viridula (Ono, 1989)
  • P. tenerifensis (Wunderlich, 1992, sub Microclubiona) = Porrhoclubiona vegeta (Simon, 1918)
