Type material.
Holotype of Araneus suavis Rainbow, 1899: female (abdomen missing), Nendo (Nitendi, Santa Cruz) [ca. 10°25'S, 165°30'E, SOLOMON ISLANDS] (AM KS6524) (examined).
Remarks.
The abdomen of the female holotype of Araneus suavis is missing and it is doubtful that it will be possible to accurately identify this species by somatic features of the cephalothorax alone. The original description suggests this species may belong to Neoscona , however, the illustration of the epigyne is stylised. Therefore, I consider the species-group name Araneus suavis a nomen dubium.
