Can you send a male for genital dissection?

I have 119 specimens so i can send a male.
In Fauna ent scand it says that if it is big and orange it should be A. rufescens but can I trust that? I want to identify all of them so it is problematic if i have to dissect all the males.

I picked apart a male OBS not the same specimen.
I can't find what is what or any similarities to the species i Fauna ent Scand.

As far as I can judge, it does seem to fit Amiota rufescens best.
However I have never actually studied material of this species. It is not known from the Netherlands Smile.

Thanks i wasn't known from Sweden either but from Finland nearest locality Oulu Finland so it's strange that it's one of the most common species in the trap material.

I look forward to receiving it (and perhaps a female, too? Wink). But they are all likely to be the same species.

A box is on the way to Jan Willem. I should have sent some more but it is a little to late know. All of The Netherlands is the same place i assume....
