Remarks. This species was originally described from Serra do Cipó (around 19°19’S, 43°34’W) and Serra do Caraça (around 20°06’S, 43°30’W), in the State of Minas Gerais. It occurs also in PECJ and is similar, although much less frequent, than K. tamoya . They have distinct penial armatures, K. reichardti having longer hooks directed ventrally ( Figs. 15–16 ), compared to the shorter, laterally directed ones in K. tamoya ( Figs. 17–18 ). Females of K. reichardti were either not collected or were indistinguishable from those of K. tamoya .
