Polistes mandarinus View in CoL de Saussure 1853 [probably Polistes (Polistella) eboshinus Sonan 1943 ]

Sonan (1938: 69) listed 1 Ƥ with the collection data “Taihorin, vi.1911 (H. Sautter)” and deposited in the Deutsches Entomologisches Institut. He mentioned “this species is common in Formosa.” This statement was probabaly based on the type series of Polistes mandarinus var. eboshinus Sonan, 1943 ; all type specimens we located in TARI had been collected before the year 1938.
