Diagnosis. Draculoides trinity differs from all other species of Draculoides by the distinct shape of the male flagellum; in dorsal view the base is widest rendering the shape like the blunt tip of an arrow. The female flagellum and internal genitalia can currently not be distinguished with certainty from that of D. catho (but see respective diagnoses for all other species). Draculoides trinity can be diagnosed from all other Draculoides species that were sequenced at COI and ITS2 by the 50bp mini-barcodes shown in Figures 3 and 7.

Description. See Framenau et al. (2018).

Remarks. Draculoides trinity is only known from Trinity Bore, Western Australia (Fig. 1C).
