Etymology.

The species name refers to the sculpture on frons and mesoscutum.

Remarks.

Among eastern Palearctic Trimorus species, the female of this species is similar to T. amesis Kozlov & Kononova, 2001 and T. mirandus Kozlov & Kononova, 2001 in shortened wings at most reaching posterior margin of mesosoma. But it differs from T. amesis in small body size ( T. granulatus about 0.9 mm; T. amesis about 1.4 mm) and sculpture of T3 (shallowly punctate in T. granulatus , Trimorus coriaceus in T. amesis ), and from T. mirandus in sculpture of frons, mesoscutellum and T3 (frons and mesoscutellum are granulate (Fig. 5A, C View Figure 5 ) and T3 is shallowly punctate (Fig. 5E View Figure 5 ) in T. granulatus ; all of them are smooth in T. mirandus ). In addition, this species differs from T. coriaceus sp. n. in the shape of head (globular in T. granulatus (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ), flat in T. coriaceus (Fig. 1A, B View Figure 1 )) and sculpture of frons (granulate in T. granulatus (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); coriaceous in T. coriaceus (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 )) and T3 (shallowly punctate in T. granulatus (Fig. 5E View Figure 5 ); densely punctate-imbricate in T. coriaceus (Fig. 4E View Figure 4 )). Male of T. granulatus is similar to T. bisulcatus Kieffer, 1908 in ratio of length and width of antenomeres. The new species differs from T. bisulcatus in body size ( T. granulatus is about 1 mm; T. bisulcatus is about 1.7-2 mm) and body sculpture.
