Keywords

Clubionids, sac spiders, species diversity, taxonomy

Introduction

Clubiona Latreille, 1804, the largest genus in the family Clubionidae, currently includes 519 species distributed on most continents of the world (WSC 2023). Due to its high species diversity and worldwide distribution, several arachnologists have proposed to subdivide this genus into subgenera and species groups (e.g., Simon 1932; Lohmander 1944; Edwards 1958; Wiehle 1965; Dondale and Redner 1982; Mikhailov 1995, 2012; Deeleman-Reinhold 2001; Wunderlich 2011).

The Clubiona corticalis group, first recognised by Simon (1932), has recently been one of the most frequently reported species groups of the family (Marusik and Omelko 2018; Zhang et al. 2021; Zhong et al. 2022). In China, at least 51 species of the Clubiona corticalis group have been recorded to date, and these are mainly distributed in south China (Table 1). While examining Chinese clubionids, we found three new species belonging to the Clubiona corticalis group, and we describe them in this paper.

Materials and methods

All specimens studied are stored in 75% ethanol and stored in the Museum of Hebei University (MHBU), Baoding, China. We identified these specimens using a Tech XTL-II stereomicroscope, and drew, photographed, and measured them using a Leica M205A stereomicroscope equipped with a drawing tube and a DFC450 CCD camera. Carapace length was measured from the anterior margin to the posterior margin of the carapace medially. Eye sizes were measured as the maximum diameter of the lens in dorsal or frontal view. The leg measurements are shown as total length (femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus, tarsus). The epigyne was cleared in a warm 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution and transferred to 75% ethanol for drawing, photographing, and measuring. All measurements are in millimetres.

The following abbreviations are used: ALE, anterior lateral eye; AME, anterior median eye; B, bursa; C, conductor; CD, copulatory duct; CO, copulatory opening; E, embolus; FD, fertilisation duct; LPA, lateral patellar apophysis; MOA, median ocular area; PLE, posterior lateral eye; PME, posterior median eye; RFA, retrolateral femoral apophysis; RPA, retrolateral patellar apophysis; RTA, retrolateral tibial apophysis; S, spermatheca; SD, sperm duct; TA, tegular apophysis; VFA, ventral femoral apophysis; VPA, ventral patellar apophysis; VTA, ventral tibial apophysis.

The female of the new species is similar to C. subapplanata Wang, Zhang & Zhang, 2018 (Wang et al. 2018: figs 14, 15), but differs from the latter by having 2 separate copulatory openings (vs. conjoined) and coiled copulatory ducts (vs. s-shaped).

Discussion

To date, nearly one-third of Clubiona species in China belong to Clubiona corticalis species group, and more than half of them have been reported for the first time in the last five years. It is likely that this species group is not monotypic, although we follow previous studies (Mikhailov 1995; Deeleman-Reinhold 2001; Zhang et al. 2021) and temporarily place these three new species in the Clubiona corticalis species group. More studies, therefore, are needed to further investigate the species diversity and morphological characteristics of this group of species.
