Cephennodes bos species group

The hallmark of this group is a conspicuously modified antennomere III of males bearing a large subtriangular projection transverse to the long axis of the antenna. Species belonging here are very uniform in external and genital characters and differ chiefly in the size and shape of the projection of antennomere III, modifications of clypeus and frons in males, and minor details of the aedeagus (primarily the shape of the capsular part of median lobe, especially its apical portion, and the shape of the dorsal apical projection, both in ventral and lateral view). A summary of hitherto described species can be found in Jałoszyński (2015a). Two new species are described below.
