    What a crazy bunch!
    How did you choose Backobourkia? Only 3 species named and mostly southern Australia.
    Eriophora is 3 sp. also nut at least in the tropics too.     Posted 9 years ago

      I can't remember. I gave up on this one a long time ago, as I got nowhere with it.

        Here's what WSC says about the genera Backobourkia and Eriophora. I agree with Mark, none of them looks likely to be a match.

        What about Eriovixia laglaisei? It looks like a close match to me and the distribution is close too.

          I agree. All the features of the pattern are there and common throughout. What an amazing spider, it is like Christmas tree lights.

          Thanks for putting in the effort for me.
