Prosoma (Figs 14 A – C), long-oval, pars cephalica distinctly narrowed, in profile strongly raised, highest highest between PME and fovea; integument smooth, clothed with short fine hairs. Carapace reddish-brown, darker in front, without distinct colour pattern; fovea longitudinal and dark. Chelicerae protruding and wine-colored, with four promarginal and two retromarginal teeth. Labium and endites reddish-brown, longer than wide. Sternum yellowish-brown. Eyes: AER slightly recurved, PER wider than AER and almost straight in dorsal view. AME dark, other eyes light; with black rings. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.15, ALE 0.10, PME 0.16, PLE 0.14, AME – AME 0.11, AME – ALE 0.10, PME – PME 0.27, PME – PLE 0.17, MOQL 0.23, MOQA 0.29, MOQP 0.46. Legs light brown, without distinct color markings. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I 8.95 (2.39, 3.00, 3.00, 0.55), II 7.39 (1.98, 3.07, 1.64, 0.70), III 6.27 (1.76, 2.10, 1.84, 0.57), IV 9.18 (2.34, 3.13, 3.02, 0.69).

diagnosis
Diagnosis. Males of Clubiona zhanggureni sp. nov. resemble those of C. digitata Dankittipakul, 2012 (Dankittipakul et al. 2012: figs 1 – 3) in having similarly shaped embolus, and almost membranous conductor, but differ by: (1) retrolateral tibial apophysis with sharp apex (Fig. 13 B) (apically blunt in C. digitata); (2) beak-shaped conductor with slightly sclerotized apex (Figs 13 B, E) (triangular conductor completely membranous in C. digitata); (3) sperm duct represented by a reversed S-shaped course in ventral view (Fig. 13 D) (3 - shaped course in C. digitata).
