Euryopis splendens is wrongly assigned, it'll need to be transferred to Steatoda in the future, the one here is a real Euryopis :)

Thanks Eathan I can do a name change pretty easily - is there a paper or other reference re the change - or perhaps we have bene outdated from the start?

Euryopis splendens is still Euryopis for now but it's agreed that it deserves a spot in Steatoda, appearance wise it looks like what'd be expected of a cupboard spider, it was described in 1916 & hasn't been revised since so no need to update it until then, https://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=2673 here is a bit of info I found. :)

"This spider Steatoda grossa(Splendens) (C. L. Koch, 1838) Cupboard Spider is officially still Euryopis splendens until a revision is done"
