Hi Alison, my preference would be to label this as what is currently "Cyclosa fuliginata" (but should now actually be Salsa fuliginata (I'll have that updated shortly)) given the confusion around Araneus hamiltoni as a genuine standalone
species.
I'll discuss this further with the team shortly, but I do think we need to sort this out.
If you'd prefer to leave it as A. hamiltoni until we sort something out, that's also fine.
What are your thoughts?
