Moved from Longjawed Orbweavers.

From Rod Crawford:

Yes, the online image is clear enough to show the eye distances well.
The lateral eyes (front & back) are the same distance apart as the
median eyes. That makes it laboriosa. Some laboriosa specimens have
the lateral eyes a little closer together, but never as close together as in versicolor or elongata.
