Clubiona alpicola |
| Subspecies No subspecies are recognized. Many authors including Platnick (2000 ff.) in the World Spider Catalog list a subspecies "Clubiona alpicola affinis Schenkel, 1925". However, this results from a misinterpretation of the work of Schenkel (1925). Schenkel reported the first find of Clubiona alpicola from the Swiss Alps, but was not entirely sure about its identity. Therefore he wrote: "Clubiona alpicola a. sp. affinis". What he meant was "Clubiona alpicola aut species affinis" which is Latin for "Clubiona alpicola or a related species", but has been misinterpreted by Roewer (1954) and many following authors as the description of a subspecies "affinis" of Clubiona alpicola. Thaler (1981) has already clarified this misunderstanding, but still many works erroneously list a subspecies "Clubiona alpicola affinis Schenkel, 1925".
