Cephennodes spatulipes View in CoL species group
Diagnosis. Aedeagus small, of simonis form, ventral wall lacking setae; in males metatibiae modified, distally broadened, and also abdomen modified, with various projections or carinae on some sternites (only IV or IV and V).
This group is closely allied to the C. inflatipes (metatibiae modified, abdomen unmodified) and C. simplicipes (metatibiae unmodified, abdomen modified) groups.As in the C. simplicipes group, adults are unremarkable, except for male abdominal modifications, and beetles are small-bodied with extremely small aedeagi.
This is a moderately large group that includes 12 previously described species distributed predominantly in Nepal, with four species previously known to occur in China:
