1 cf from Bakong.

Moulton, F.M.S. Museum Journal 1923, p. 116. 



Head including eyes considerably narrower than base of 

 mesonotum, its length about equal to space between the eyes, 

 its lateral margins tumid but continuous ; pronotum consider- 

 ably shorter than mesonotum, narrowed anteriorly, lateral 

 margins convex anteriorly, sharply concave posteriorly : 

 abdomen slightly longer than space between apex of front and 

 base of cruciform elevation ; tympana completely covered, 

 tympanal covering about as broad as long, but narrowed 

 anteriorly ; opercula short very globose, wider than abdominal 

 margin and conspicuous from above ; rostrum just passing" 

 posterior coxae ; tegmina and wings hyaline, the former spotted. 



Type K. opercnlata described below, from IVEt. Murud. 

 Kalabit country, Northern Sarawak, Borneo. 



This interesting new genus resembles Lahuqada Distant, 

 from Assam, in the globose opercula and narrow head, but 

 differs otherwise in many particulars. It is possibly more 

 nearly allied to Oncotympana Stal, which however is remark- 

 able for the small opercula and enlarged globose tympanal 

 coverings. In this genus the opercula are enlarged and globose, 

 while the tympanal coverings are small.
