Cephennodes taurus View in CoL species group
Diagnosis. Head in males with pair of long bristles with thickened apices inserted on vertexal region and directed anteriorly and dorsally; aedeagus of simonis form, with short setae on subapical area of ventral wall; frontoclypeal area in most species modified, with impressions and/or convexities.
This group is closely related to the C. impressifrons (head lacking a pair of thickened vertexal setae) and C. bos (head lacking a pair of thickened setae; antennomere 3 modified) groups.
This is a moderately large group that includes 12 previously described species (some of them placed in this group in the present study) distributed predominantly in China, but known also from Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam:
