Cephennium thoracicum group

The phylogenetic affiliations of the type species of Cephennium , C. thoracicum , have not been thoroughly revised. Since the morphology of the aedeagus differs in many ways from that of the C. perispinctum group, this species is tentatively assigned to a group of its own. Only a single male is reported from North Spain, close to the border with France.
