"Formerly placed in the genus Tockus."
Interesting that Peter Hancock still list them as Tockus in his book published just last year.

Hancock's treatment will presumably apply to the whole of the genus Lophoceros, not just this one?

From IOC, "The whistling species of Tockus are separated to Lophoceros (Gonzalez et al. 2013ab)" - I'll dig out the ref and post here in a mo.
