This genus belongs to the Ant-like Group. The cephalotho¬ 
rax is moderately high in the cephalic part, the thoracic falling 
gradually from a groove behind the dorsal eyes. The sides-, 
nearly parallel throughout most of their length, contract, more 
or less, behind. The quadrangle of the eyes occupies two-fifths 
of the cephalothorax, is nearly as long as wide, and is equally 
wide in front and behind, or wider behind. The front row 
of eyes is straight or bent downward. The second row is plainly 
nearer the first than the third, and the third is nearly as wide 
as the cephalothorax. The falces are long, slightly divergent, 
and nearly horizontal, with a short fang. The inferior mar¬ 
gin is unarmed, but the superior has a large compound tooth 
which is visible from above. The front coxae are sepiarated 
by more than the width of the labium, which is plainly longer 
than wide. The sternum has a long point behind and is trun¬ 
cated in front. There is a long pedicle, and the abdomen has 
a constriction in the middle. 
The metatarsus of the first leg has two- nairs of inferior 
spines, and the tibia three pairs, one near the proximal, and 
two near the distal end. 
This genus is distinguished from Quekettia by its more ant¬ 
like shape and by the abdominal constriction, as well as by the 
difference in the spines. Kima and Queleettia differ from Arae - 
geus E. S., which also has no tooth on the inferior margin of 
the falx, by the shape of the sternum, which in Araegeus has 
a long point in front. The type species, K. africana, differs 
from variahilis in the following points: the sides of the cephal¬ 
othorax contract suddenly, at the posterior end, forming a 
rather sharp angle, while in variahilis they round off gently; 
the quadrangle of the eyes is equally wide in front and be¬ 
hind, the front row being a little curved downward with the 
middle eyes about twice as large as the lateral; the relative 
length of the legs is different, and the coxa? of the first legs are 
black.
