Taxonomy

Very close to K. elmeri. Rolfe published this species with a very short but adequate description taken from , who did not provide a name, and by reference back to an analysed drawing. This latter is the illustration which is typified above in the absence of any cited specimens. The Lobb specimen cited by Rudjiman as the type is not part of the original material.
