  How about Araneus' brisbanae ?

    It looks like we're talking about the same species, read the first line of that article :) Posted 3 years ago

        I did some more digging, looks like Araneus' brisbanae is more like a nick name, not a formal name. Posted 3 years ago

        Sorry Niel, but I'm confused now. Let's replay:
        
        1. I propose Cyclosa fuliginata
        2. You suggest Araneus' brisbanae, supplying an article that shows its the same species, just a synonym of Cyclosa fuliginata
        3. Now you don't think it's Araneus' brisbanae.
        
        If you don't think it's Araneus' brisbanae, you also don't think its Cyclosa fuliginata, since they are the same species.
        
        Bottom line, do you think this is Cyclosa fuliginata or not? Posted 3 years ago

        Yes I don't follow my own logic. I accept that it is ' Cyclosa fuliginata'
