Type material.
Holotype of Epeira flavopunctata L. Koch, 1871: 1 male, "Viti Inseln" (= REPUBLIC OF FIJI) [no exact locality], Museum Godeffroy 3837 (ZMH Rack (1961) -catalog no. 238) (examined).
Remarks.
Somatic characters (Figs 6A, B) and pedipalp morphology (Figs 6C, D) of the male holotype of Epeira flavopunctata clearly identify this species as a Neoscona . Due to the shape of the median apophysis (lacking a median spine) this species belongs the subgenus Afraranea sensu Grasshoff (1986). Neoscona flavopunctata comb. n. was originally described from Fiji. Hasselt (1882) recorded it from Silago (Southern Leyte, Philippines).
