Clubiona hystrix species-group

Diagnosis. The Clubiona hystrix -group resembles the apiculata group in having the similar, simple tegulum with U-shaped sperm duct in male, and in having sclerotized spermathecae and the hyaline bursae in female, but can be distinguished by (see also Deeleman-Reinhold 2001; Dankittipakul & Singtripop 2014): (1) conductor absent; (2) embolus oriented clockwise along the margin of the tegulum instead of pointing apically; (3) retrolateral tibial apophysis relatively smaller and weakly developed; (4) copulatory opennings usually hidden in ridges, folds or under a hood; (5) copulatory ducts usually convoluted.
