Remarks. Zwick (1973c) provides an excellent, well illustrated description of the adults of this species. Eggs and larvae were unavailable for the original description and no larvae were available to us, however, Yoon & Sung (1985) provide a brief description of the larva and figures of the head and pronotum for this species known only from the Korean Peninsula. Although no eggs suitable for good quality scanning electron microscopy study were available, a few with soft chorions were examined and these were punctate over the entire surface and the collar was a small nipple-like structure generally similar to the eggs of K. collaris .
