A survey of clubionid spiders from Shiwandashan National Nature Reserve, Guangxi, China, is presented. A total of four genera and eight species are reported and illustrated, including three new species and one new combination: Femorbiona pinglong Wu & Xu sp. nov. (♂♀), F. triangula Wu & Xu sp. nov. (♂♀), Porrhoclubiona songbai Wu & Xu sp. nov. (♀), and F. kayashimai (Ono, 1994) comb. nov. (♀), which is transferred from Clubiona Latreille, 1804. In addition, four previously known species are recorded, including the first description of the male of C. yanzhii Zhang & Yu, 2020. Detailed descriptions and diagnoses are provided for the new species and the new combination.
