Cephennodes impressifrons View in CoL species group

Diagnosis. Aedeagus of modified simonis form, median lobe conspicuously large and slightly or moderately asymmetrical, with capsular region drop-shaped, oval or subrectangular, with ventral membranous area concealed by ventral wall; parameres asymmetrical, apical processes with dorsally curved hook, subapical area of dorsal wall bearing numerous minute setae. In males head modified, with convexities and/or impressions.

This group is highly similar to the C. bos and C. taurus groups, it differs in unmodified antennomere 3 in males and the lack of a pair of long thickened setae on the frontovertexal region.

This is a moderately species-rich group that currently includes 13 described species distributed in China, Thailand and Vietnam:
