Remarks.
This species is similar to
K. alba
Dworakowska
, but has the pygofer dorsal appendage broad near its apex, the anal tube appendage with its apical hook short, the apical part of the paramere short and straight, the connective narrower, and the aedeagus with the apical part much broader.
Etymology.
The specific name is derived from the Latin word “imminutus”, referring to the shortened hook of the anal tube appendage.
