On the Clubiona reclusa species-group in China, with the description of Clubiona qianlei sp. nov. (Araneae, Clubionidae).

The representation of the Clubiona reclusa species-group in China is here established in two species: Clubiona qianlei sp. nov. from Central China and C. interjectaL. Koch, 1879, which is mainly distributed in northern China. Detailed description, diagnosis, photographs of the new species are given. DNA barcodes (a partial fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene, COI) of the new species were obtained to confirm matching of the sexes and for future use in molecular studies. Supplementary micrographs of C. interjecta are provided for the first time, alongside an emended diagnosis, to demonstrate the validity of C. qianlei sp. nov.. A distribution map of the reclusa group species in China is given.
