phallus [FBbt_00004850]

The main part of the male genitalia used for intromission. The distal portion, through which the male ejaculates, is the aedeagus. The basal portion consists of a pair of bifurcate processes called postgonites and the aedeagal sheath. The name aedeagus, previously used for the entire phallus, is now used for a more specific part of the phallus [FlyBase:FBrf0244105].
