Hatigoria sauteri Jacobi, 1914: 380 .

Hatigoria sauteri Jacobi, Schumacher, 1915: 96 ; Esaki and Ito, 1954: 26; Metcalf 1962: 10.

Length: ♂ 10.0– 12.5 mm, ♀ 12. 2–13.6 mm.

External morphology. Body ( Fig. 2A–F ) usually yellow brown to dark brown. Head and thorax usually darker than forewings. Crown ( Fig. 2A, B ) longer than wide; anterior process curved dorsad and somewhat elliptical in lateral view, with lateral ridge blurred and lateral sides uneven with irregular ridged folds or not, base of process with rhombic ridge; ocelli located on small protuberance, median longitudinal carina present on apical half or extended entire length of crown. Face ( Fig. 2C ) with clypeal sulcus not obvious, anteclypeus base with one transverse carina or absent, one indistinct median longitudinal carina below transverse carina, apex hardly surpassing lower margin of gena and feebly truncate, antennal ridges not very developed and declinate. Pronotum ( Fig. 2F ) anterior margin somewhat truncate, some depressions without setae present after anterior margin, lateral margins ridged, nearly straight and with some white setae, slightly longer than anterior margin. Exposed part of mesonotum ( Fig. 2F ) about as long as scutellum, scutellum obviously swollen distad of scutoscutellar sulcus. Abdomen with yellow patches on 3rd to 5th tergites centrally. Hind femur macrosetal formula 2+1+1, with ca. 10, 10–12 and 15–16 setae in rows AD, PD, AV respectively; tarsomere I with one row of plantar setae, pecten with 7–8 platellae.

Male genitalia. Pygofer ( Figs. 2G–I ) outer margins nearly straight in dorsal view; subgenital plate ( Fig. 2J ) shorter than pygofer, outer margins not very evenly convex, gradually narrowing posteriorly, apex somewhat blunt; ventral appendages slightly shorter than subgenital plate, with basal 1/3 relatively broad, apical 2/3 slender, tapering and resembling pair of parentheses in ventral view; connective ( Figs. 2K, L ) an approximate quadrangle constricted near midlength, two sides of connective apex somewhat truncate in dorsal view and vertically expanded into a keeled process acute apically and curved backward; style about 2.0x connective length, apophysis very short and rounded, not reaching middle of connective, with about five setae at apex; aedeagal shaft tubular, broadly constricted in posterior view, curved dorsad at base then nearly straight in lateral view, lateral margins rugose, gonopore at apex.

Material examined. Lectotype ♀, here designated, labeled “Gluikuloge (handwritten, uncertain); Formosa / Anping/ H. Saiter’ 09; 1909; Staatl. Museum für Tierkunde, Dresden; coll. A. JACOBI; A. Jacobi / Typus; Hatigoria sauteri Jac. ” ( SMTD) ; Paralectotype 1♀, labeled “ Formosa / Kosempo/ H. Saiter’ 09; 1909; A. Jacobi / Typus” ( SMTD) ; 2♂: “ Formosa. / M. Kato; Hatigoria sauteri Jac. / det WJKnight 1966; Hatigoria sauteri Jacobi 1914 / Det. Zhang Ya-Lin ” ( BMNH) .

Distribution. China, Japan.

Notes. To help fix the identity of this species, one of the two female syntypes in the SMTD is designated as Lectotype here. Two male specimens also from Taiwan in the BMNH are conspecific with Jacobi’s Syntypes .
