If you stroll through the Stratiomyidae gallery you will come across this Ptilocera species.

Just curious: which Stratiomyidae species is the one in the title of diptera.info?

'Holding' might not be the perfect description. Apparently the armature makes contact with sensitive places on the female, coaxing her to agree to mate.

Is was not quite sure whether the word would apply correctly, but, yes, that is okay.

How about armature, would that fit?
based on http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.11 11/j.1365-3113.2008.00422.x/pdf
it would seem that these spines etc are used to hold the female!

All spines, ridges, lobes, etc. on the femur.

I think bewaffnung is like weapons (on femur 1).
