Stimulated by the newly observed $a_0(1817)$ BESIII Collaboration, we find a perfect Regge trajectory composed of $a_0(980)$, $a_0(1450)$, and $a_0(1817)$, which leads us to categorize into isovector scalar meson family. This scenario is supported their two-body Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka allowed strong decay behaviors. In this scheme, also predict third radial excitation denoted as $a_0(2115)$, access...
