Koch, 1867) and Porrhoclubiona (see note below)) were not accepted as genera by the most authors (exceptions, but no justification was provided: Sterghiu, 1985 (Euryclubiona, Gauroclubiona, Microclubiona), Wunderlich, 1992a: 481 (Microclubiona; Wunderlich, 1995b: 424 placed the same species in Porrhoclubiona) and Wunderlich, 2011: 135-147 (who accepted all as genera and added two additional genera, see below) are considered junior synonyms of Clubiona by Mikhailov, 2012: 179; considered a senior synonym of Anaclubiona Ono, 2010a: 4 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:03962] (type Clubiona zilla Dönitz & Strand, 1906), Marmorclubiona Wunderlich, 2011: 136 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:06034] (type Clubiona marmorata L.
