Trissolcus euschisti may be distinguished from the similar T. brochymenae by the smooth or shallowly impressed sculpture on the ventral portion of the mesopleuron anterior to the mesopleural carina. The smaller specimens of T. euschisti are often quite distinct from the larger ones in the following characters: number of lateral setae on T1, extent of fine wrinkles on T2, extent of rugae on S2, extent of S1 setation, number of setae on the mesopleuron above the mesocoxa, sculpture of the upper portion of the frons, extent of transverse striae within the antennal scrobe, and the presence of a shallow groove below the anterior ocellus. The separation of T. euschisti and T. brochymenae may be difficult with specimens that exhibit an intermediate state of faint rugosity on the anteroventral mesopleuron. These specimens are not common in our experience and the situation reflects the need for molecular data to further test the hypotheses of species delimitation presented here and in the revisions of Nearctic Trissolcus by Johnson (1984 , 1985a , b ).
