As I have no photo of the epigyne, I suppose it is impossible to find the species.......or perhaps is it possible to suppress some species that have never 2 paired of black spots? Do you have an idea of the number of paired black spots that could be seen on: - Araniella inconspicua - Araniella alpica - Araniella cucurbitina - Araniella opisthographa - Araniella proxima Thanks |

I only know Araniella cucurbitina. It is the only species from this genus for Portugal. |

All the northern european species of Araniella have paired black spots, and usually the red spot above the spinnerets. The only visibly different species is A. displicata which has a red mark on the abdomen. This could be any of the five - you need to look at the genitalia for definite id. |

Hello, Jorge! jorgemotalmeida wrote: I only know Araniella cucurbitina. It is the only species from this genus for Portugal. Hard to believe. We have 6 species in Germany alone (which look very similar, except A. displicata). I strongly suspect that the "Arananiella cucurbitina" in Portugal consists of more than one species.
