Clubiona producta Forster, 1979 |
Clubiona producta is a species of Clubionidae spider endemic to New Zealand. [1]
This species was described in 1979 by Ray Forster from male and female specimens. [1] The holotype is stored in the New Zealand Arthropod Collection under registration number NZAC03014960. [2]
The male is recorded at 6.6mm in length whereas the female is 6.9mm. The cephalothorax and legs are pale yellowish brown. The abdomen has blackish spots dorsally and a few ventrally. It is most similar to Clubiona huttoni , but can be separated by minor differences in the genitalia and the darkness of the abdomen spots. [1]
This species is only known from Three Kings Islands in New Zealand. [1]
Under the New Zealand Threat Classification System, this species is listed as "Naturally Uncommon" with the qualifiers of "Island Endemic" and "Range Restricted". [3]
