Can we safely assume this is Peribaea fissicornis, and not hertingi?

Austria, Vorarlberg, late June

It was continuously crawling over my hand and I had to be careful not to accidentally squash it while taking photos of other insects.

I think we cannot separate the males. See Theo's comment here:

Eric means it is either setinervis = fissicornis or hertingi male.

I understood, but my question was - has there been any records of hertingi south of Norway?

I see, thanks (France, Italy) - so indeed should be better to be kept at higher level
