Remarks.
This species is similar to
K. simlensis
Dworakowska, Nagaich & Singh
, but has the apex of the paramere forked, the connective narrower, the aedeagal shaft curved ventrally and the preatrial process much shorter.
Etymology.
The specific name is derived from the Latin word “furcatus”, referring to the forked apex of the paramere.
