Colpocephalum echinatus Ewing, 1930

Type host: Green Peafowl Pavo muticus L.

This species was described originally from nymphs collected from the Green Peafowl, Pavo muticus L., by Kellogg and Paine (1914). Ewing (1930) proposed C. echinatus as a new species from the same bird species, but from adult males and females. Price and Beer (1963) revised the species of Colpocephalum that are associated with Galliformes and considered C. thoracicum as the valid name, with C. echinatus as a synonym.
