1 Two ocelli........................................................................................... 2
- Three ocelli, the median sometimes very strongly reduced..................................................... 6
2 Sc ending at the base of Rs+M, antenna bicoloured, basal six flagellomeres yellow, remainder brown. Terminalia , Fig. 3b View FIGURE 3 (Argentina).................................................................................. K. golbachi View in CoL
- Sc extending to the apex of Rs+M, antenna unicoloured, at most some flagellomeres with brown on the disc............. 3
3 Ocelli twice their largest diameter from the eye margin, occiput only brownish on disk; Apical palpomere length subequal to penultimate; antennal flagellum with ventral setae; costal wing spots weak. Terminalia , Fig. 3f View FIGURE 3 (Paraguay)........ K. fiebrigi View in CoL
- Ocelli their own diameter distant from the eye margin; two posterior occipital spots; last palpomere much longer than penultimate; antennal flagellum without ventral setae; well-marked costal spots.......................................... 4
4 Medial costal spot encompassing the apex of Sc. Terminalia , Fig. 3i View FIGURE 3 (Trinidad)......................... K. trinidadensis View in CoL
- Medial costal spot not reaching Sc........................................................................ 5
5 Coxae entirely yellow; Abdominal tergites II-VI, in addition to the lateral spots, with a yellow medial sagittal line. Terminalia , Fig. 3a View FIGURE 3 (Panama)............................................................................... K. caribai View in CoL
- Mid and hind coxae largely stained with brown apically; Abdominal tergites II-VI with two yellow triangular spots more or less distinctly connected at the apex. Terminalia , Fig. 3h View FIGURE 3 (Brazil).................................... K. ornativentris View in CoL
6 Wings without spot pattern, just a slight pale yellowish tint; General body colour, yellow. Terminalia , Fig. 3g View FIGURE 3 ( Cuba)................................................................................................. K. maxi n. sp.
- Wings with spot pattern, general body colour yellow or not but not in the above combination......................... 7
7 First costal spot covering the apical quarter of Sc, which ends shortly after the level of the apex of Rs+M; antennal flagellum with ventral setae. Male unknown (Mexico)....................................................... K. mexicanus
- First costal spot at most encompassing the apex of Sc, which ends at the apex of Rs+M; antennal flagellum without ventral setae................................................................................................ 8
8 First costal spot encompassing Sc apex; Occiput uniformly reddish yellow; Male: abdominal tergite I entirely yellow, VII entirely brown. Terminalia , Fig. 3d View FIGURE 3 (Brazil)....................................................... K. townsendi
