Diagnosis.

Trissolcus hullensis is most closely related to T. solocis, T. radix and T. zakotos . Trissolcus hullensis may be distinguished from these by the anteriorly invaginated metapostnotum. Additional characters useful for identification are: the paracoxal sulcus in the ventral half of the metapleuron, absent in T. hullensis, present in T. radix and T. zakotos; sculpture of the mesoscutellum, coriaceous or smooth in southern specimens of T. hullensis, coarsely areolate in T. solocis and T. radix; the color of the radicle, black in T. hullensis, T. zakotos and T. solocis, yellow in T. radix; and the rounded vertex, sharply angled in T. radix and T. solocis .
