Vostox brunneipennis?
It looks like it might be the same or close to the one in Marshall's book (1), page 69, and here in the guide.

V, the text says female,
but the other one with claspers like this you called a male. Does that make this one male also?

100% male
-- both this one and the cross-ref'd individual; but the one already IDed as V. b. (128068) is a gal
