Roell, Talita, Lemaître, Valérie A., Webb, Michael D. & Campos, Luiz A., 2023, An annotated and illustrated Type Catalogue of the predacious Shieldbugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae) in the Collection of the Natural History Museum, London, Zootaxa 5232 (1), pp. 1-105 : 76

saturata (Strachia) Walker 1867b: 342–343. [ Fig. 175 ]

Original data: “ a. Ceram. From Madame Ida Pfeiffer’s collection.” [holotype]

HOLOTYPE ♀: red-margined holotype disc; green-margined type disc; “Ceram / 55 8”; “ ASOPUS SATURATUS. ”; “NHMUK 010592381”. Fourth and fifth right antennomeres, third to fifth left antennomeres, and right anterior leg missing. Wings partially disjointed ( Fig. 175 ).

Current status: Amyotea hamata (Walker, 1867) (synonymised by Stål 1870: 57; see Schouteden 1907: 54).

Notes: The long label from Walker’s catalogue reads: “ ASOPUS SATURATUS. ” While this is not the original combination, this is the one used by Walker (1868: 534). There, Walker also suspected that Asopus saturatus was a variety of Asopus hamatus.
