B. Richer de Forges , 2 December 1992 , 1 „ , 2 ovig. ♀♀ (MNHN-Na 14926) . Remarks The specimens were collected with Palaemon sp. All the specimens lack second pereiopods, so the identification must be considered as provisional. Not previously recorded from New Caldedonia. The specimens have rostral dentition of 1+7/3, the rostrum greatly exceeds the antennular peduncle, particularly in the male, is slender, about 1.35 times the carapace length, as opposed to 1.15 times in the K. suvadivensis type material, the scaphocerite lamella is subquadrate distally and well exceeded by the distolateral tooth. The third pereiopod dactyl is about 9.0 times longer than the basal width and about 0.36 of the propod length, as opposed to 0.2 times in the type material; the proportion of length to breadth of the propod are similar but the present material has fewer ventral spines, four as opposed to six.
