Comments. The type material of Cheiracanthium escaladae , described from the female, and Clubiona qianhuayuani , described from the male only, were examined. Each of these sexes is consistent with the genitalic morphology of C. corrugata , a common and widespread species in eastern Asia with many taxonomic citations ( World Spider Catalog 2023). Therefore, we consider both species to be junior synonyms of C. corrugata .
