Abstract

A survey of clubionid spiders from Shiwandashan National Nature Reserve, Guangxi, China, is presented. A total of four genera and eight species are reported and illustrated, including three new species and one new combination: Femorbiona pinglong Wu & Xu sp. nov. (♂♀), F. triangula Wu & Xu sp. nov. (♂♀), Porrhoclubiona songbai Wu & Xu sp. nov. (♀), and F. kayashimai (Ono, 1994) comb. nov. (♀), which is transferred from Clubiona Latreille, 1804. In addition, four previously known species are recorded, including the first description of the male of C. yanzhii Zhang & Yu, 2020. Detailed descriptions and diagnoses are provided for the new species and the new combination. Photographs and DNA barcodes of all examined species are included to aid species delimitation, sex matching, and future research.
