Diagnosis
Trissolcus cultratus is easily distinguished from other members of the flavipes group treated here by the parallel arched rugae on the frons between the anterior ocellus and the antennal scrobe. This species also lacks a well-developed orbital furrow near the malar sulcus, and by this character it may be separated from Trissolcus brochymenae, Trissolcus edessae, Trissolcus euschisti, and Trissolcus japonicus.

Comments
Kozlov (1968)[1] designated a lectotype for Trissolcus flavipes and simultaneously treated Trissolcus cultratus as a junior synonym. However, the concept of Trissolcus flavipes presented in the key and description of his publication was that of Trissolcus cultratus, and not of Trissolcus flavipes, which in our assessment is a distinctly different species; the two may easily be separated by the presence of parallel arched rugae on the frons of Trissolcus cultratus, contrasting with absence of large rugae and presence of a circular impression on the frons of Trissolcus flavipes (see Figs 52–55). The arched rugae on the frons of Trissolcus cultratus make the species particularly easy to identify, and the erroneous use of this character to identify Trissolcus flavipes was propagated throughout subsequent literature because Kozlov’s treatment was followed, and the primary type of Trissolcus cultratus was not re-examined. An unfortunate consequence of this error is that undoubtedly most, if not all, specimens of Trissolcus cultratus and Trissolcus flavipes have been misidentified.
