Cephennodes bos View in CoL species group

Diagnosis. Antennomere 3 of males strongly modified, with massive subtriangular dorsal projection; antennae gradually thickened toward apices; frons of males in some species modified; aedeagus of simonis form, with approximately drop-shaped capsular region of median lobe, setae on subapical area of dorsal wall, and generally subtriangular distal plate.

Species of this group are large-bodied, and morphologically similar to those of the C. impressifrons and C. taurus groups. The modification of antennomere 3 in males is a unique synapomorphy. This group includes seven species described previously:
