Appears to be an 'outside' orb weaver - what's your geographic location?

Unfortunately, no - There does not appear to be much literature on the spider fauna of your area...

ABSTRACT
Komnenov, M. Sistematski pregled pauka (Araneae) Bosne i Hercegovine. The spider
fauna of Bosnia & Herzegovina is still poorly known. It has never been studied in its entirety,
despite contributions by many foreign arachnologists, and remains one of the least explored
in the former Yugoslavia. A first checklist of spiders of Bosnia & Herzegovina, comprising
165 species belonging to 27 families and 103 genera, is given on the basis of critical review
of existing literature records on the distribution of spiders in the studied area. The spider
fauna is best characterized by cavernicolous spiders represented by 43 species: 15
troglophiles and 29 troglobites (14 blind). According to present data, the spider fauna of
Bosnia & Herzegovina is (after Albania and Montenegro) among the least investigated in the
Balkans.
Key words: spiders, checklist, Bosnia & Herzegovina..





A total of 165 spider species from 27 families and 103 genera has been recorded in
the present study from Bosnia & Herzegovina. Best represented are the families Linyphiidae
(31), Dysderidae (18) and Salticidae (13). The genera with the highest number of species
are: Troglohyphantes (15), Dysdera and Xysticus (6), and Nesticus, Pardosa and
Heliophanus (4). 42 species have been described from Bosnia & Herzegovina and 28 of
them are endemic to the country.
It should be emphasized that the spider fauna of Bosnia & Herzegovina is best
characterized by cavernicolous spiders (Tab. 1). The spiders established in caves are
represented by 43 species: 15 troglophiles and 29 troglobites (14 blind). In this analysis,
trogloxenes species are not included. It should be pointed out that of the 29 troglobites, as

@themonhowl - I also found that article, but didn't see anything there that I thought would be useful in identifying this spider...

Ah, well. Sorry.

My thought was perhaps with your knowledge of spiders, having a picture and a general listing of families might at least create a starting point.

Perhaps the OP, anre, can get more info from the first section, which appears to possibly be an address.
