( Figures 74, 75 View Figures 58–77 ) Columbicola carrikeri Tendeiro 1965: 238 . Type host: Turtur chalcospilos (Wagler) .

Description

Similar to C. theresae , except for structure of genitalia. Male HW, 0.24–0.26 (0.251); HL, 0.50–0.58 (0.538); HL/ HW, 2.04–2.29 (2.15). Thorax with PW, 0.19–0.21 (0.202); MW, 0.23–0.27 (0.252). Genitalia as in Figure 74 View Figures 58–77 ; lateral margins of mesosome concave, with pores as shown; lateral edges of parameres slightly curved; GW, 0.093 –0.103 (0.097). TL, 2.23–2.38 (2.28). Female HW, 0.24–0.27 (0.256); HL, 0.55–0.60 (0.562); HL/ HW 2.11 – 2.29 (2.19). Thorax with PW, 020–0.21 (0.205); MW, 0.24–0.28 (0.259). Ventral terminalia as in Figure 75 View Figures 58–77 ; subgenital plate groove broad, without lateral setae. TL, 2.43– 2.60 (2.52) GoogleMaps .

Material

7 males, 3 females (including holotype male, allotype female, 4 male, 1 female paratypes of C. carrikeri ), ex T. chalcospilos , Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mozambique (3) . 3 male, 5 female paratypes of C. carrikeri , ex T. abyssinicus (Sharpe) , Uganda (1) . 1 male, ex T. tympanistria (Temminck) , Ghana (1).

Remarks

Males of C. carrikeri can be separated from C. theresae by the shape of the mesosome and parameres and the arrangement of the mesosomal pores. Although similarly shaped, the anterior portion of the female subgenital plate groove is wider in C. carrikeri than C. cicchinoi .
