Abstract :Clubiona Latreille, 1804 is the largest genus in the family Clubionidae, with 528 species. This genus, which has many species in the world, has only 13 species in Türkiye. The detailed study of these species contributes significantly to our understanding of the biodiversity in the region. In order to make new contributions to the genus Clubiona, specimens were collected and systematically studied in Bayburt province. Samples were collected from bushes, between the plant roots and under the stone. In this study, some members of the genus Clubiona from Bayburt province are reported. Clubiona diversa O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1862 is recorded for the first time from Türkiye. Together with the new record, Clubiona brevipes Blackwall, 1841, Clubiona neglecta O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1862 and Clubiona pseudoneglecta Wunderlich, 1994 are given as new locality records from Bayburt province. Morphological characters and photos of the species are presented with a detailed description of the new record.
