Nusatidia pandalira Barrion-Dupo, Barrion & Heong , in Barrion et al., 2013: 10, fig. 9A–D (♀).

Type material of Nusatidia pandalira (examined). Holotype ♀ (coll. no. Ch2), CHINA: Hainan Island, Chengmai, Laocheng , Longji Hill , 24.IV.2012, leg. A. T. Barrion et al. .

Description and diagnosis. See Barrion et al. (2013) for the original description. The type female of Nusatidia pandalira is similar in habitus ( Fig. 4A, B ) to most Clubiona in the ternatensis group of species (sensu Zhang et al. 2021), but particularly to the female of C. damirkovaci Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 ( Deeleman-Reinhold 2001: 107, figs 22, 23), with the hook-shaped epigynal ridges and the similarly shaped bursae and spermathecae. However, C. pandalira comb. nov. can be distinguished from C. damirkovaci by the epigynal ridge being longer than wide ( Fig. 3A ) (vs. width greater than length in C. damirkovaci ), the copulatory duct without a looping turn anteriorly ( Fig. 3B ) (vs. with a 90° bend anteriorly in C. damirkovaci ), the bursa that are larger than the spermatheca ( Fig. 3B ) (vs. similar in size in C. damirkovaci ), and the copulatory ducts close together and almost touching ( Fig. 3B ) (vs. separated by one diameter in C. damirkovaci ; Deeleman-Reinhold 2001: fig. 22).

Distribution. China (Hainan). Comments. The sclerotized spermathecae, hyaline bursae and copulatory openings hidden in ridges shows that Nusatidia pandalira belongs to the Clubiona ternatensis species group, so we hereby transfer this species to Clubiona Latreille, 1804 .
