During manipulation, I tried to "open" carefully all the genitalia to make you see all the pieces; may be some pieces went out (but i didn't add anything!). Now it looks more similar to heteropygus, although a female could be able to say "it's not the same" (compared to fig 216 Faune de France):
- the lower part is smoothly curved and ended in a broad appex
- the two branches of the "fork piece" are more broad
- the upper piece is also different
