Remarks. Photos of the holotype of E. auroguttata and T. auroguttata repraesentoides are available from Okayasu et al. (2018) and “Integrated insect types database of Taiwanese species” (http://twinsecttype.nmns.edu. tw/, accessed 21 August 2020). In Iriomote-jima Island, Japan, this species was collected on a road through sugarcane field (Okayasu 2016; Fig. 15) and by sweeping of low grass on dry forest edge (Ito 2018).
Tsuneki (1993) separated T. vallicola from E. auroguttata by the setal color on the frons, shape of the clypeus, setal pattern on the mesosomal dorsum, surface sculpturing on the posterior propodeal face, color of the legs, setal color of the metasoma, distance between the setal spots on T2, and surface sculpturing on the pygidial plate. Each of these diagnostic features, however, is regarded as variation, since many intermediate forms were examined from throughout the range of this widespread species. The holotype of T. vallicola (Figs 4D, 4H, 12H) matches all the diagnostic characteristics of E. auroguttata.
Barthélémy et al. (2018) examined three males and four females of E. auroguttata from Hong Kong, China. However, the photographed female (Barthélémy et al. 2018) probably belongs to T. fuscipennis (Fabricius, 1804) based on the mesosomal shape and setal pattern. This species is similar to E. auroguttata in having the T2 with large pale setal spots, T3–4 with pale setal band and pygidial plate irregularly rugose anteriorly, but differs by having the humeral angle projecting, T3–4 with pale setal band only narrowly interrupted medially by black setae and the pygidial plate rugose on anterior 3/4.
