Chapinia lophocerus (Bedford) 
Fiaures 2, 4, 27, 28 
Menopon lophocerus Bedford, 1920, p. 717, pls. 1 (fig. 1), 3 (fig. 1). [Type host: 
Lophoceros leucomelas= Tockus flavirostris leucomelas (Lichtenstein, 1842).] 
Chapinia lophocerus (Bedford)—Hopkins and Clay, 1952, p. 67. 
Bedford did not designate a type from his material which contained 
a pair of Mallophaga from Lophoceros leucomelas= Tockus flavirostris 
leucomelas (Lichtenstein, 1842), a pair from LZ. epirhinus=Tockus 
nasutus caffer (Sundevall, 1851), and two males and one female from 
L. erythrorhynchos=Tockus e. erythrorhynchus (Temminck, 1823). 
A lectotype was designated by Hopkins (1941) from the host, 
Lophoceros leucomelas, since the male from that host agreed best with 
Bedford’s figure of the male genitalia. 
Male: Smaller than Chapinia robusta in all measurements (table 1). 
Venter of third femora and posterolateral margins of abdominal 
sternites IV-VI each with small scattered brushes of normal setae. 
Each lateral margin of abdominal tergites II-VI with a short seta 
between the spiracle and postspiracular seta. Abdominal sternite II 
with 28-42 total setae and one median row of setae on posterior 
margin. Terminal abdominal segments as shown in figure 4. Genitalia 
as shown in figure 2, each lateral horn with two sharp posterior 
points which do not reach the slender endomeres. 
Female: Larger than Chapinia robusta in all measurements except 
width of prothorax and width of metathorax (table 2). Resembles 
the male except that abdominal sternite II has 34-54 total setae. 
Terminal abdominal tergite with 22-30 setae, short setae alternating 
with long, on posterior margin; ventral sclerite between vulva and 
anus not elevated medially between sclerital hooks (fig. 27). Anal 
fringe with 42-56 setae (fig. 28).
