 Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; ventral surface and tarsus chestnut.   
Male (Fig. 428). Head wide; dorsal surface, on gibbosities, with barely fine punctures, moderately abundant, not confluent; area between gibbosities and occiput with same kind of punctures, but sparser; area close to eyes with barely large punctures, confluent; frontal gibbosities well marked, separated by deep and wide furrow; area between gibbosities and ocular carina depressed, and with some punctures; ocular carina elevated, not bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 428); area behind eyes with punctures slightly coarse, sparse. Eyes narrow (Fig. 100); posterior ocular edge (Fig. 428) distinct. Central area of clypeus vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 45) narrow and subacute at apex. Submentum barely depressed, with large and abundant punctures; margin close to mentum wide and barely elevated at middle (more elevated at sides); pilosity very sparse, present throughout. Teeth of inner margin of mandibles (Fig. 166) placed after middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI divided by carina, visible from side (Fig. 240).  
Pronotum coarsely, abundantly punctate at latero-basal half; latero-apical half with tiny, abundant callosities; center of disc finely, sparsely punctate; anterior edge (Fig. 428) clearly sinuous; anterior angles not projected forward; lateral angles barely marked; posterior angles marked, obtuse and barely distinct. Elytra somewhat finely, moderately, sparsely punctate, mainly towards suture; each elytron with two carinae barely visible. Metasternum with some moderately coarse, shallow punctures at sides. Metafemur (Fig. 429) elongated. Dorsal face of tibiae rounded; in dorsal view distinctly wide. Metatarsus (without claws) approximately as long as metatibia; metatarsomere V barely longer than I-III together.  
Female (Fig. 430). Latero-apical half of pronotum with abundant punctures, and moderately rugose. Labrum (Fig. 46). Mandible (Fig. 167).  
 Variability. Males: area between gibbosities and ocular carina with fine, sparse punctures; area close to eyes with punctures partially confluent; area between gibbosities and ocular carina smooth; ocular carina bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes; central projection of labrum narrow and rounded at apex; punctures of submentum moderately abundant; margin of submentum, close to mentum, wide and elevated throughout; pilosity sparse; submentum depressed at sides; anterior margin of pronotum barely sinuous; anterior angles of pronotum barely projected forward; elytral punctures fine and sparse, mainly towards suture; each elytron with a single carina barely visible. Female: Latero-apical half of pronotum finely, sparsely punctate, and not rugose.   
 Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 16.0-23.1/17.2-18.0; prothorax: length, 3.3-4.8/3.5-3.7; anterior width, 3.9-6.5/4.2-4.3; posterior width, 3.3-5.1/3.9-4.0; humeral width, 4.3-6.4/ 5.0-5.1; elytral length, 9.5-12.7/11.0-11.6.   
 Comments. Differs from males of K. shibatai (Hayashi, 1963), K. lanyuana (Hayashi, 1981), K. formosana (Miwa and Mitono, 1939), K. philippinensis and K. mehli, mainly, by the central projection of labrum narrow and rounded or subacute at apex, and by the elytral punctures fine or nearly fine, distinctly sparse. In males of the species mentioned above, the apex of the central projection of labrum is wide and truncate, and the elytral punctures are distinctly coarser and close in both sexes.   
 Differs from K. nayani, K. ohbayashii and K. janus, by the presence of tiny callosities at latero-apical half of the pronotum, and by the elytral punctures clearly finer. In the three species, the pronotum is only punctate at latero-apical half, and their elytral punctures are clearly coarser and more abundant than elytral punctures of K. luzonica.
