>>How is it possible to separate the species?
Zaitzev's key gives two points. In the picture terminalis on the left subterminalis on the right.
1 = terminalis aedeagus rounded apically. Subterminalis aedeagus with straight apex.
2 = terminalis gonocoxites with narrow emargination ventrally. subterminalis gonocoxites with broad emargination ventrally.
