Abstract

Six new species, belonging to three species groups of Clubiona Latreille, 1804 are described from both males and females: C. huntianling Yu & Li, sp. nov., C. rouqiu Yu & Li, sp. nov. and C. yinyangjian Yu & Li, sp. nov. from the corticalis group; C. huojianqiang Yu & Li, sp. nov. and C. qiankunquan Yu & Li, sp. nov. from the trivialis group; C. nezha Yu & Li, sp. nov. from the zilla group. These species are currently known to occur only in subtropical forests, Sichuan, China. The DNA barcodes of all species were obtained for species delimitation, matching of sexes and future use.
