also listed it as Araneus, but I couldn't find any images under that name. However, I did find it listed under Neosconella. I know they are the same spider. I'm assuming the names changed from Araneus to Neo., but maybe it's the reverse? Here's a list of name changes. Do you know which way the list works?

names on the right are valid. It seems that Araneus is the valid name.

in the forums here listed as BugGuide's reference with Araneidae found here also lists Araneus as the correct name, so we would move this to Araneus and mention something of the synonymy on the guide page.
