    It is proved that the graph \(K_{2n+1,2m+1}\) minus one edge can be decomposed into two isomorphic factors with a given diameter \(d\) only if \(3\leq d\leq 6\) or if \(d=\infty\); in each case the decomposable graphs are completely characterized. Moreover, for \(d=\infty\) all classes of possible disconnected factors are determined.
