 to face more or less castaneous ; tegmina and wings hyaline, 

 the veins ochraceous or brownish ochraceous ; tegmina with 

 a curved series of about four fuscous spots between radial area 

 (near apex) and inner margin, the veins separating the ulnar

Diflers from K. pantherina by the longer tympanal

Head with front prominent and produced, its lateral 

 margins at right angles with anterior margins of vertex, its 

 breadth between eyes much narrower than base of mesonotum, 

 its length about equal to that of pronotum ; j)ronotum a little 

 shorter than mesonotum, its lateral margins convex anteriorly 

 and concavely sinuate before posterior angles, which are 

 ampliated ; abdomen much longer than space between apex 

 of head and base of cruciform elevation, its lateral areas 

 obliquely depressed above ; beneath with the disk somewhat 

 flat and the marginal areas obliquely directed upward ; tym- 

 panal flaps shorter, but not narrower than tympanal cavities; 

 opercula transverse and just passing base of abdomen ; ante- 

 rior femora strongly spined beneath near apex ; anterior 

 tibiae longer than femora, anterior tarsi more than half the 

 length of tibife ; tegmina and wings long and narrow, 

 greatest width of the first only equal to a third of length, its 

 basal cell much longer than broad, fourth ulnar area much 

 compressed at base of third, apical areas eight.
