3F603574FFC7FFD4FF1FD3D7FB44A395.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The genus is recognized within Heterogastridae by a combination of the following characters: body less than 6 mm in length, elongate oval, with short pilosity, lacking bands of dense silvery pubescence; pronotum constricted at middle, with lateral margins weakly sinuate and carinate, at most with a faint median carina; clavus with 3 longitudinal rows of punctures, innermost row complete or incomplete; cuplike sclerite of genital capsule greatly enlarged, extending behind parameres in posterior view.	en	Gao, Cuiqing, Rédei, Dávid (2017): The identity of Equatobursa, with proposal of new genus and species level synonymies (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Heterogastridae).

3F603574FFC7FFD4FF1FD3D7FB44A395.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Sadoletus is morphologically diverse, therefore some of the characters utilized in the generic level identification key of Scudder (1962) to separate the genus from other genera of Heterogastridae, most importantly the shape of ovipositor and ventrite V (couplet 1), the shape of pronotum (couplet 12), and the punctation of the clavus (couplet 14), have limited value (see Discussion). Diversity and distribution. The genus is distributed all over the Indomalaya and currently comprises eleven described species (Slater 1964, Ban & Ishikawa 2013) but it is in need of taxonomic revision.	en	Gao, Cuiqing, Rédei, Dávid (2017): The identity of Equatobursa, with proposal of new genus and species level synonymies (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Heterogastridae).

3F603574FFC7FFD7FF1FD725FEBEA410.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Sadoletus izzardi is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: body elongate; head, pronotum and scutellum uniformly black, fore wings yellowish, apex of corium with dark suffusion; head relatively broad, only slightly narrower than pronotum; pronotum conspicuously constricted in the middle, midline of posterior lobe with a faint longitudial carina, humeri distinctly produced posteriad over bases of fore wings; clavus with three complete rows of punctures; hemelytra not exceeding apex of abdomen; legs without distinct dark annuli; female with posterior margins of abdominal ventrites III – IV straight, ventrites V – VI greatly narrowed in the midline, surrounding the elongate ovipositor. Supplementary description of the genitalia of both sexes. (The external genitalia of both sexes were thoroughly illustrated by Ban & Ishikawa (2013), only corrections and supplementary notes are provided here.) Male. Genital capsule (Figs. 7 – 8) broadly ovoid in posterior view, dorsal sinus of posterior aperture elliptical, ventral rim slightly protruding posteriad, with a pair of low, broad protuberances immediately mesad of paramere sockets and an equally broad but much longer projection medially; cuplike sclerite (Fig. 8: cs) greatly enlarged, broadly tongue-shaped, obtusely truncate dorsally, extending behind parameres in posterior view, reaching approximately to ventral third of dorsal sinus of posterior aperture. Parameres (Fig. 8: rp; Figs. 9 – 11) with long, sickle-shaped distal portion (= blade, = hook-like process) and a large, blunt sensory process at its base, blades projecting over each other in rest, sensory processes protrude from genital chamber, projecting laterally (Figs. 7 – 8). Female. Ovipositor elongate, the two hemiventrites of the medially completely bisected ventrite VII are long therefore posterior margins of abdominal ventrites III – IV straight, ventrites V – VI greatly narrowed in the midline. Spermatheca with a long, thin duct (Fig. 12: sd), its length subequal to median length of abdomen; a simple, tubular intermediate part (Fig. 12: ip) with a ring-like, thickened portion immediately proximad of apical receptacle; apical receptacle (Fig. 12: ar) globose, with a transverse carina roughly around its equator but not surrounding it completely.	en	Gao, Cuiqing, Rédei, Dávid (2017): The identity of Equatobursa, with proposal of new genus and species level synonymies (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Heterogastridae).

3F603574FFC7FFD7FF1FD725FEBEA410.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Sadoletus izzardi is restricted to temperate East Asia (Korea, central and eastern China, the main islands of Japan except of Hokkaido) but it is rarely collected everywhere in that area. The record of Neomizaldus lewisi (Distant, 1901) (as Mizaldus lewisi) from South Korea by An (2010) certainly pertains to this species; earlier records of M. lewisi from the country (Miyamoto & Lee 1966, Lee 1971) are, however, apparently correct.
