Araneus notandus Rainbow, 1912: 196, figs 7-9; Bonnet 1955 : 554. Aranea notanda Rainbow. Roewer 1942 : 830. Type material. Holotype of Araneus notandus Rainbow, 1912: 1 female, Blackall Range [ 26°37'S , 152°52'E , Queensland, AUSTRALIA], C. J. Wild (QM W2122) (examined). Remarks. This species is closely related to Neoscona inusta comb. n. The epigyne scape of the holotype of Araneus notandus is short and spatula-shaped, but some variation, in particular a different course of the fertilisation duct that shines through the scape suggest it to be a different species. A series from Sabai Island (Queensland) in the QM contains five males of this species (in addition to 6 females and 10 immatures) that also confirm it as Neoscona based on the structure of the male pedipalp as reviewed in Grasshoff (1986) . I therefore propose its transfer to Neoscona , Neoscona notanda (Rainbow, 1912), comb. n.
