" A common group of small to medium-sized "typical" orb-weaving spiders. They genitalia are characteristic, but they also have in common a ventral inverted light U-pattern with the vertical bars of the "U" being somewhat spindle shaped. Cyclosa fuliginata and Araneus recherchensis belong here, in addition to some undescribed species." - Volker Framenau on Flickr
