Type species.
Araneus angulatus Clerck, 1757.
Comments.
Although the four new species are different from the generotype A. angulatus in thier smaller body size and having the abdomen lacking a pair of anterolateral humps, the epigynal base not elongated, and a shorter scape which does not extend far beyond the epigastric furrow, we provisionally place them in this genus because they share a very similar habitus and copulatory organs with other Araneus species. There is no doubt that their generic position needs confirmation, but it is not discussed here due to limited evidence.
