Brit says "silks spider" is genus Nephila, and jorō is no longer placed in that genus.

JEs all have "silk spider" for 女郎蜘蛛/じょろうぐも.
  Comments:
Having じょろうぐも as a reading of 絡新婦 is wierd. I guess it's a sort-of gikun. It could go in its own entry.
Adding the yōkai sense.

wiki

女郎蜘蛛	15092	32.6%
絡新婦	19956	43.0%
ジョロウグモ	11308	24.4%

koj has ②コガネグモまたはナガコガネグモの古称 but I don't think we need to mention them.

koj has 絡新婦
wiki has it as the name of a spider yokai, should maybe be a separate sense?

Those senses were added by Rene in 2007, quoting the Wiki page. Not my field (he's the guy with a PhD in biology; not me.)

I don\t think senses 2 and 3 are necessary. the notes are poor
