I think the description and drawing of the genitalia of E. rustica by Chvála is slightly different from this post.

I have, likely, the same picture you are talking about. Genitalia are slightly different and resemble more those of
variegata, but the main description is not matching too much with this species (for example coxae here are not black).

Male and female are different species, the male belonging to the
rustioca group (sensu Chvála) the female belonging to the
monogramma group (sensu Chvála; more yellowish species).
The male does not key out properly as
rustica as the venter apparently is not black. Neither Chvála's key or Daugeron's key leads to a satisfactory identification, with the genitalia resembling those of
meridionalis but the coxae being yellowish. Might well be an undescribed species.

So this is a new discovery from
rustica group (
cognata e
multispina have light sternites, but genitalia appears different)!|t

A thousand excuses, I forgot that I had made a topic on the forum DI.
It's
Empis (Leptempis) lauriauti Daugeron & Bahid, 2017 ♂ and ♀.
