E. splendens refers to a species of Steatoda that was assigned to Euryopis in 1916, it'll be Steatoda splendens eventually, the spider here is a true Euryopis, not E. splendens though :)

Are the other spiders identified on NatureMapr as E. splendens actually E. splendens? They look so similar to me.

No, they're another Euryopis species rather, here is Euryopis (Steatoda) splendens itself
