Description
Genus Clubiona Latreille, 1804
Type species
Araneus pallidulus Clerck, 1757.
Remarks
The genus Clubiona has often functioned as a repository for species that could not be confidently assigned to other, better-defined genera. And due to the high species diversity in Clubiona, several subgenera and species groups have been proposed, resulting in a rather complex taxonomic situation. Clubiona is also one of the spider genera with the largest number of generic-level synonyms; currently, 14 genera or subgenera are considered junior synonyms (Zhang et al. 2021a, 2021c, 2021d, 2025; WSC 2025). This reflects the considerable taxonomic complexity within the genus.
