Diagnosis. The new species is similar to K. (S.) directa sp. nov., but the subgenital plate is narrower, the apical part of the style is sinuate, the aedeagal shaft is narrower, directed dorso-caudad and has a small protrusion on the dorsal margin subapically, and the preatrium is longer.

Measurement. Male length 2.60mm.

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Yingjiang, Xima , 24°48'18''N, 97°45'03''E, 1828.9m, 4 v 2012, coll. Yanghui Cao. GoogleMaps
