Diagnosis
The male of
K. weirauchae
sp. nov.
is similar to
K. caii
sp. nov.
, but can be recognized from the latter by tergite VIII subdivided into two hemitergites, left hemitergite VIII with a curved, finger-shaped process, with about six thick spiniform microtrichia at ventral side (
Figs 21D‒G
,
22A, H
).
Etymology
The species epithet is derived from and dedicated to Prof. Christiane Weirauch (Department of Entomology, University of
California
, Riverside,
USA
), recognizing her contributions to the study of taxonomy, morphology and phylogeny of
Heteroptera
and
Dipsocoromorpha
.

MACROPTEROUS. Small sized (about
1.22‒1.30 mm
).
COLORATION. Body brown, appendages yellowish brown (
Fig. 21A–C
). Surface, vestiture and general structures as in generic description, except mentioned below.
HEAD. Interocular distance 0.60–0.64 × length of maximum width across eyes.
THORAX. Humeral width 1.72‒1.85 × as long as middle length of pronotum. Venation of forewing in accordance with general pattern of genus. C+Sc, R+M, R and basal portion of 1An darker than wing surface, other veins slightly darker than wing surface (
Fig. 27C
).
ABDOMEN. Tergite VII and sternite VII slightly asymmetrical. Tergite VIII subdivided into two hemitergites, left hemitergite VIII with curved, finger-shaped process, with about six thick spiniform microtrichia at its ventral side; besides, numerous semi-erect microtrichia at its surface, and ends of microtrichia unbranched or split into two to four branches. Basal portion of process with sparsely short microtrichia (
Fig. 21D–E, G
). Right hemitergite VIII with triangular posterolateral portion projecting posteriad (
Figs 21F
,
22G
).
GENITALIA. Pygophore simple, asymmetrical, dorsal surface with small, relative dense round projections and short setae, posterior area with relatively long setae. Parameres strongly asymmetrical, left paramere (
Figs 21E
,
22C‒D
) with near round laminate extension directed dorsal near base, and with flattened and broad distal projection, and slightly curved inward; right paramere (

,
22E‒F
