Clubionidae Simon, 1878

Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: first used as subfamily by Simon, 1878a: 208 (corrected from Wagner, 1887: 104 by Marusik, 2023a: 363); genera listed by Roewer under the subfamilies Anyphaeninae, Corinninae, Liocraninae, and Micariinae have been apportioned to the Anyphaenidae, Corinnidae, Gnaphosidae, Liocranidae and Miturgidae; the family is not monophyletic per Kulkarni, Wood & Hormiga, 2023: 519, f. 19.

Gen. Porrhoclubiona Lohmander, 1944 urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04501

type Clubiona clandestina Menge, 1873; gender feminine; syn. of Porrhoclubiona genevensis (L. Koch, 1866)

N.B.: described as a subgenus of Clubiona Latreille, 1804; regarded as a subgenus of Microclubiona Lohmander, 1944 by Sterghiu, 1985: 54; elevated to genus by Wunderlich, 2011: 140; synonymized with Clubiona by Mikhailov, 2012: 179; elevated to genus again by Marusik & Omelko, 2018c: 22; re-synonymzation with the polyphyletic genus Clubiona by Breitling, 2019c: 67 not accepted here, as a further splitting of Clubiona is expected; it is identical with the genevensis-group of several authors and includes also the pteronetoides-group per Wunderlich, 2011: 140 and Marusik & Omelko, 2018c: 22 (the latter is doubted by Breitling, 2019c).
