I agree, the rear two spots are missing altogether. If you look on the spider's more exposed right side, you can just make out the zig-zag line on Areneus diadematus.

I've been out in the garden today taking photographs of Areneus diadematus, and somthing about this spider's markings rang loud bells!

Very beautiful spider though, a colour variation I've never seen before. Grat find!
