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 ; 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 ; subgenital plate groove broad, without lateral setae. TL, 2.43– 2.60 (2.52) . 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 .
