Porrhoclubiona
Genus of spiders
Porrhoclubiona is a genus of sac spiders that was first described as a subgenus of Clubiona by H. Lohmander in 1944.[ 2] Clubiona is a polyphyletic group that has been divided and reorganized many times, and whether this genus is a synonym of Clubiona [ 3] [ 4] or an independent genus[ 5] [ 6] is still under debate.[ 1]
