Clubiona abnormis Dankittipakul, 2008

Figs 27, 31-33, 71

Material examined. LAOS: Champasak Province: 1 female, E of Pakse, Bolaven Plateau, Ban Lak 38, That Fane , N 15°11 ’03.0’, E 106°07 ’36.9’’, 952 m altitude, coffee plantation, vegetation and leaf litter, at night, by hand, 19 March 2010, P. Jäger & J. Martens leg. ( SMF, L95) .

Note. The species was described from Thailand (Nakhorn Ratchasima Province: Khao Yai National Park) by Dankittipakul (in Dankittipakul & Sintripop 2008a). The placement in the japonica-group was uncertain due to the characters of copulatory organs. Generally, characters of the present female are congruent with those illustrated in the original description. The only differences are a paler pattern on dorsal opisthosoma (Fig. 31) and a kidneyshaped dilated terminal portion of spermathecal heads (Fig. 33; ovoid in figs 66-67 of Dankittipakul & Singtripop 2008a). Despite these differences the female is considered as belonging to C. abnormis . In the original description no spination pattern was provided, this is added below.
