I've made this one... I hope it answers some of your questions.

The names of the various parts are the same as in Pape - with the exception of the small addition to 'juxta'.

The Sarcophagid genitals are a mess. I'll be the first to admit this! But after all it's just a matter of practicing and experience and suddenly one day you're no longer daunted by the aspect of prying into the genitals of Sarcs. For me it took several years ;)

Now the question is: What species do we have here? Very common all over Europe.

Good luck :)
