Icaria variegata (Smith 1852) [ Ropalidia fasciata ( Fabricius 1804) ]

Sonan (1927: 122), without giving any locality record, listed “ Epipona variegata Smith ”, “ Icaria picta Sauss. ” and “ Icaria ferruginea Matsumura (nec Fabricius)” as synonyms of Icaria variegata , and mentioned that this species could be distinguished from I. ferruginea by having paired yellow lateral spots on the second metasomal segment. Sonan (1935a: 199) listed, as synonyms, “ Epipona variegata Smith, 1852 [1852c]”, “ Icaria variegata Smith ” of de Saussure (1853), Smith (1857), Dalla Torre (1894, 1904), and Bingham (1897), “ Ropalidia variegata ” of Bequaert (1918) and Yano (1932), “ Icaria picta de Saussure” of de Saussure (1854) and Kuroiwa (1926), “ Icaria pendula Smith, 1857 ”, and “ Icaria ferruginea ” of Matsumura (1908, 1910), Kuroiwa (1908) and Matsumura & Uchida (1926). Sonan (1935a) mentioned that this species was common in Formosa (= Taiwan) and Okinawa, and recorded the following localities in Taiwan: Batoran (Karenko), Choshu, Heito, Kagi, Koshun, Kotosho (Botel-Tobago), Nanto, Raisha, Rokki, Sankaikeki, Shinchiku, Taihoku, Tainan, Taito and Urai.
