Northern rockhopper penguin two genera, "Austrogoniodes" and the monotypic "Nesiotinus". Within rockhopper penguins, the host-specific louse "Austrogoniodes keleri" is present only on southern rockhoppers; the multi-host "Austrogoniodes concii" parasitises only northern rockhoppers and "Austrogoniodes hamiltoni" parasitises only eastern rockhoppers. Cross contamination of the lice is not possible naturally due to the fact that chewing lice have limited mobility and heavily rely on their host for survival, meaning that the lice can only be transmitted across species by way of close physical contact. The northern rockhopper penguin feeds on krill and other sea life such as crustaceans, squid, octopus and fish. It breeds in
