Remarks.

This species is problematic and requires a revision due to its actual absence from the type locality (Crimea). The name K. tauricus could be a synonym or a subspecies of K. dimidiatus ( Brullé, 1832), while the valid name for the species mentioned here could be in that case K. latipes (Sickmann, 1894) (Fateryga 2018).
