- Gonostylus without an apical tooth (Fig. 9 A, B) ............................................................ K. oligonema sp. n.
2. Maxillary palpus three-segmented (Fig. 1 F–I) ........................................................................................... 3
- Maxillary palpus one- or two-segmented (Fig. 1 A–E)................................................................................ 7
3. Gonostylus mesially with two curved megasetae arising from a common basal body (Fig. 5) ................. 4
- Gonostylus mesially with three or more curved megasetae arising from a common basal body (e.g. Figs 6–8).............................................................................................................................................................. 5
4. The two curved megasetae of the gonostylus stout and short, their length less than half the width of the gonostylus (Fig. 5 D, E) ....................................................................................................... K. bicuspis sp. n.
- The two curved megasetae of the gonostylus slender and long, longer than the width of the gonostylus.... ................................................................................................................................. K. biflagrispina Mohrig
5. Gonostylus between the curved mesial megasetae and the apical tooth without additional megasetae ....... ........................................................................................................................................... K. flagria Mohrig
- Gonostylus between the long curved mesial megasetae and the apical tooth with three or more additional megasetae..................................................................................................................................................... 6
6. Gonostylus between the long curved megasetae and the apical tooth with three additional megasetae, teg- men broadly subtriangular and without prominent microtrichia at apex (Fig. 10) ................. K. rima sp. n.
- Gonostylus between the long curved megasetae and the apical tooth with five or six additional megasetae, tegmen with a broad base and narrow nearly parallel-sided apical part, with prominent microtrichia at apex (Fig. 6 A, B) ................................................................................................................. K. filigera sp. n.
7. Gonostylus mesially with seven or eight long curved megasetae arising from a common basal body (Figs
6C, D, 8F, G)................................................................................................................................................ 8 - Gonostylus mesially with at most six long curved megasetae arising from a common basal body (Figs 5 B, C, 7, 8D, E) .................................................................................................................................................. 9
8. The curved megasetae of the gonostylus short, shorter than the width of the gonostylus (Fig. 6 C, D), wing length less than 3 mm ......................................................................................................... K. fasciata sp. n.

9. Gonostylus with two short and stout curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body, the length of these megasetae only about half the width of the gonostylus (Fig. 5 B, C) ................................... ................................................................................................................................ K. acamptochaeta sp. n.
- Gonostylus with three or more slender curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body, these megasetae longer than the width of the gonostylus................................................................................... 10
10. Maxillary palpus two-segmented (Fig. 1 E), gonostylus with three long curved mesial megasetae arising from a common basal body and with two additional megasetae between these and the apical tooth and with two or three conspicuously strong setae near the base of the apical tooth (Fig. 8 C, D) ....................... .......................................................................................................................................... K. foveolata sp. n.
