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]
