New Observation Field for G. cancriformis synonyms

Hi everyone! After learning about the 'Gasteracantha mess', I've now created an observation field for Gasteracantha cancriformis synonyms/variations to help keep track and organize some current G. cancriformis observations so that updating them will be easier when revisions to the genus are made in the future.

The field name can be changed and values can be added at any time, so please feel free to suggest changes/additions. Currently I have only added a few of the synonyms as values, so I imagine more will be needed to be added later. If needed, we can create a temporary name for a type to use a a value rather than a synonym. Feel free to use 'other' if it's one you don't want to lose track of, but I haven't added an appropriate value name for it yet. Use 'review needed' for ones you're uncertain about but would like to come back to (or would like others to get a look at it).
