Porrhoclubiona is a genus of sac spiders that was first described as a subgenus of Clubiona by H. Lohmander in 1944. [2] Clubiona is a polyphyletic group that has been divided and reorganized many times, and whether this genus is a synonym of Clubiona [3] [4] or an independent genus [5] [6] is still under debate.

Both this genus and Deliana were removed from the synonymy of Dipoena in 1988, but many of these species require more study before their placement is certain.
