Diagnosis.

Trissolcus manteroi and T. rufiventris are the only two species of Palearctic Trissolcus in which females exhibit a 1-2-2-2-1 claval formula ( Figure 10 View Figures 8–11 ). These two can be separated from each other by the length of the postmarginal vein in the fore wing: slightly longer than the stigmal vein in T. manteroi ( Figure 13 View Figures 12–15 ) and about twice as long as the stigmal vein in T. rufiventris ( Figure 14 View Figures 12–15 ). These two species can also be separated from each other by the form of the mesopleural epicoxal sulcus, which is comprised of cells in T. manteroi and is a smooth furrow in T. rufiventris .

Description.

Female body length: 0.99-1.09 mm, m = 1.04 mm, SD = 0.02, n = 16. Body color: head, mesosoma, and metasoma black.

Head. FCI = 1.4; LCI = 1.8; IOS = 0.3 mm; OOL:POL:LOL = 1:12:5.3. Color of radicle: dark brown. Length of radicle: less than width of clypeus. Color of A1-A6 in female: distal A2 yellow to light brown, otherwise black. Color of A7-A11 in female: black. Number of papillary sensilla on A6: 0. Number of papillary sensilla on A7: 1. Facial striae: absent. Number of clypeal setae: 6. Shape of gena in lateral view: narrow. Genal carina: present only at base of mandible. Malar striae: absent. Sculpture of malar sulcus: weakly and densely striate. Orbital furrow: uniform in width between midpoint of eye and malar sulcus. Macrosculpture of frons directly dorsal to the anterior ocellus: weakly rugose. Preocellar pit: present. Setation of lateral frons: sparse; moderately dense. Punctation of lateral frons: sparse. Sculpture directly ventral to preocellar pit: dorsoventrally fluted. Rugae on lateral frons: weakly developed to absent. OOL: less than one ocellar diameter. Hyperoccipital carina: absent. Macrosculpture of posterior vertex: absent. Microsculpture on posterior vertex along occipital carina: granulate. Anterior margin of occipital carina: crenulate. Medial part of occipital carina in dorsal view: rounded.

Mesosoma. Epomial carina: present. Macrosculpture of lateral pronotum directly anterior to netrion: finely rugulose. Netrion sulcus: complete. Pronotal suprahumeral sulcus in posterior half of pronotum: undifferentiated from sculpture of dorsal pronotum. Number of episternal foveae: 0. Subacropleural sulcus: present. Speculum: transversely strigose. Mesopleural pit: extending ventrally into dorsoventral furrow parallel to mesopleural carina. Mesopleural carina: well defined anteriorly, poorly defined to absent posteriorly. Sculpture of femoral depression: smooth. Patch of striae at posteroventral end of femoral depression: present, striae oblique to long axis of femoral depression. Setal patch at posteroventral end of femoral depression: absent. Microsculpture of anteroventral mesopleuron: present throughout. Macrosculpture of anteroventral mesopleuron: absent. Postacetabular sulcus: comprised of large cells. Mesopleural epicoxal sulcus: comprised of cells. Setation of posteroventral metapleuron: absent. Sculpture of dorsal metapleural area: absent. Posterodorsal metapleural sulcus: present as a line of foveae. Paracoxal sulcus in ventral half of metapleuron: indistinguishable from sculpture. Length of anteroventral extension of metapleuron: short, not extending to base of mesocoxa. Metapleural epicoxal sulcus: present as coarse rugae. Mesoscutal humeral sulcus: present as a simple furrow. Median mesoscutal carina: absent. Microsculpture of mesoscutum: imbricate-punctate anteriorly, becoming longitudinally imbricate-strigate posteriorly. Mesoscutal suprahumeral sulcus: comprised of cells. Length of mesoscutal suprahumeral sulcus: two-thirds the length of anterolateral edge of mesoscutum. Parapsidal line: absent. Notaulus: absent. Median protuberance on anterior margin of mesoscutellum: absent. Shape of dorsal margin of anterior lobe of axillar crescent: acute. Sculpture of anterior lobe of axillar crescent: dorsoventrally strigose. Area bound by axillar crescent: smooth. Macrosculpture of mesoscutellum: absent. Microsculpture on mesoscutellum: imbricate-punctate laterally to granulate medially. Median mesoscutellar carina: absent. Setation of posterior scutellar sulcus: present. Form of metascutellum: single row of cells. Metanotal trough: foveate, foveae occupying more than half of metanotal height. Metapostnotum: invaginated near lateral edge of metascutellum. Length of postmarginal vein: 1.1-1.2 times as long as stigmal vein. Color of legs: coxae dark brown to black, femora and tibia dark brown with yellowish tips, trochanters and tarsi yellow to pale brown. Anteroventral area of hind femora: not covered by setae. Anteromedial portion of metasomal depression: smooth.

Metasoma. Width of metasoma: about equal to width of mesosoma. Longitudinal striae on T1 posterior to basal costae: pair of longitudinal submedial carinae separate a lateral smooth area from an internal area where striate sculpture starts with basal grooves. Number of sublateral setae (on one side): 1. Setation of laterotergite 1: absent. Length of striation on T2: extending one-third the length of the tergite. Setation of T2: present in a transverse line and along lateral margin. Setation of laterotergite 2: present.
