Trissolcus radix Johnson, 1985b: 432, 440 (original description, keyed).

Diagnosis.

Trissolcus radix is most closely related to T. hullensis, T. solocis, and T. zakotos, from which it may be distinguished by the bright yellow radicle. The well defined paracoxal sulcus in the ventral half of the metapleuron serves to separate this species from T. hullensis and T. solocis, and the rugose sculpture of the mesoscutellum will separate it from T. hullensis and T. zakotos .
