Mikhailov, K. G.: Spiders of the genus Clubiona Latreille, 1804 (Aranei, Clubionidae) of North Korea

Abdomen length 5.00, width 3.10, greyish brown. Epigyne as in Fig. 1. Remarks. The figures of the Ç of C. mandschurica presented in the papers by Hu (1984) and PAIK (1990) obviously belong to different species, the former rather to C. odesanensis PAIK, 1990, the latter to C. sopaikensis PAIK, 1990. Females of five very close Oriental species of the pallidula-group can be separated by the following key: 1. Copulatory openings at the (vertical) level of atria 2 - Copulatory openings at the level of Sptl 3 2. Copulatory openings wide, their width equal to the width of copulatory tubes. Genital plate does not hanging over genital fissure C. orientális MIKHAILOV, 1995 Copulatory openings narrow, ca. twice narrower than the width of copulatory tubes. Genital plate hanging somewhat over genital fissure C. komissarovi MIKHAILOV, 1992 3. Sptl, Spt2, and atria at the same (horizontal) level. Spt2 ovoid C. sopaikensis PAIK, 1990 Spermathecae and atria at different levels. Sptl + Spt2 lower than atria. Spt2 ovoid or sub-rounded 4 4. Sptl and Spt2 at the same level. Spt2 ovoid C. odesanensis PAIK, 1990 Spt2 lower than Sptl C. mandschurica SCHENKEL, 1953 Judging only by the drawings of the male genitalia of C. zacharovi MlKHAILOV, 1991 (MIKHAILOV 1991: Figs 52-53) and C. mandschurica (MIKHAILOV 1995: Figs 1719), the two species appear to be closely related. But actually C. zacharovi has larger body size, differing also in the length of the embolus being larger than the bulb width, by the tibial apophysis being more flat with a top of the ventral branch of more complicated shape and attenuating.
