Yeah, looking at it...the author gives it the name - “コガネグモ（仮称）” - which is "kogane-gumo (tentative name)"...which translates to "Argiope Amoena (Tentative Name)"

It's the Japanese name of the species of spider in the Argiope family that's in eastern Asia.

Argiope

There's absolutely no mention of it being a rank up of the Demon Spider  that I can see at a glance , but that doesn't mean it isn't. It's more likely that it's just another KIND of spider, though. Either way, I see absolutely no mention of "Golden" or "Demon" in it...so..."Argiope" is how it stays, imo.

It's not a mistranslation. =p
