Clubiona Latreille, 1804, the largest genus in family Clubionidae, currently includes 495 species worldwide with 126 species from China (Li Lin 2016; World Spider Catalog 2018). Due to the high diversity in Clubiona, several subgenera and species-groups have been proposed (Wang et al. 2015). While there is no agreement on the limits of most species-groups of Clubiona (Deeleman-Reinhold 2001), the corticalis-group has been widely considered as putatively monophyletic. The group presents a distinct set of characters (Mikhailov 1995; Deeleman-Reinhold 2001; Liu et al. 2016) and the species composition of the core-group is relatively stable (Mikhailov 1995; Deeleman-Reinhold 2001; Dankittipakul Singtripop 2008; Wu et al. 2015). At least two generic names are available for the corticalis-group, Atalia Thorell, 1887 and Paraclubiona Lohmander, 1944 (Mikhailov 2012). Spiders of the corticalis-group are well studied in China and several new species have been described in recent years (Yu et al. 2012; Zhu et al. 2012; Wang et al. 2015; Wu et al. 2015; Liu et al. 2016; He et al. 2016). Up to now, the Clubiona corticalis-group has more than 28 Chinese species (Wang et al. 2015; Wu et al. 2015; Liu et al. 2016; He et al. 2016; Yu et al. 2017), making it one of the most well known clubionid groups in China. While examining spiders collected from Guizhou Province, China, we came across some specimens from the Clubiona corticalis-group, which are described here as belonging to two new species.
管巢蛛属（Clubiona）由拉特雷耶（Latreille）于1804年建立，是管巢蛛科中最大的属，目前全世界已知495种，其中中国有126种（李林，2016；世界蜘蛛名录，2018）。由于管巢蛛属物种多样性高，已有学者提出了几个亚属和物种组（Wang等，2015）。虽然对于管巢蛛属大多数物种组的分类界限尚无定论（Deeleman-Reinhold，2001），但皮质管巢蛛物种组（corticalis-group）被广泛认为可能是单系类群。该物种组具有一系列独特的特征（Mikhailov，1995；Deeleman-Reinhold，2001；Liu等，2016），核心类群的物种组成相对稳定（Mikhailov，1995；Deeleman-Reinhold，2001；Dankittipakul & Singtripop，2008；Wu等，2015）。皮质管巢蛛物种组至少有两个属名可用，即1887年的阿塔管巢蛛属（Atalia）和1944年的拟管巢蛛属（Paraclubiona）（Mikhailov，2012）。在中国，皮质管巢蛛物种组的蜘蛛已得到充分研究，近年来已描述了几个新物种（Yu等，2012；Zhu等，2012；Wang等，2015；Wu等，2015；Liu等，2016；He等，2016）。截至目前，皮质管巢蛛在中国已超过28种（Wang等，2015；Wu等，2015；Liu等，2016；He等，2016；Yu等，2017），使其成为中国最知名的管巢蛛类群之一。在对采自中国贵州省的蜘蛛进行检视时，我们发现了一些属于皮质管巢蛛物种组的标本，在此将其描述为两个新物种。
