( MRAC 236899);  1 malefrom Kenya, Forest Kakamega, 00°13’N 34°54’E,  14 September 2002, D. Shilabira Smithleg. ( MRAC 220273);  1 male,  20 July 2002, D. Shilabira Smithleg. ( MRAC 220238).   Etymology.The specific name refers to the typelocality, noun in apposition.   Diagnosis.Males of  K. rutshuru  sp. nov.are distinguished from those of the other species of the genus by the tegulum with the distal part widened (distal part narrower in  K. ruwenzori  sp. nov.and  K. buta  sp. nov.), sperm duct far from embolar insertion (very close to embolar insertion in  K. ruwenzori  sp. nov.and  K. buta  sp. nov.), and the conductor arising between 1–2 o’clock position (at 12 o’clock position in  K. ruwenzori  sp. nov.and  K. buta  sp. nov.) ( Figs 51B, C); females differ by the positioning ridges close to each other, almost touching, and by copulatory duct enlarged close to copulatory opening and visible ventrally (narrower in  K. ruwenzori  sp. nov.and  K. buta  sp. nov.) ( Figs 51D, E).   Description.Male ( holotype). Total length: 2.25. Carapace 0.90 long, 0.75 wide; Abdomen 1.12 long, 0.66 wide; Sternum 0.62 long, 0.51 wide; Spinnerets: ALS 0.25 long, 0.13 wide.

Palp: single RTA with tip curving dorsally; tegulum robust, with distal region larger than basal region, creating large space between reservoir and embolus; embolar insertion between 6–7 o’clock position; embolus with distal part curved ( Figs 51A–C).  Female( paratype). Total length: 2.46. Carapace 0.94 long, 0.78 wide; Abdomen 1.43 long, 0.84 wide; Sternum 0.72 long, 0.58 wide; Spinnerets: ALS 0.26 long, 0.15 wide.

Leg measurements: I: 2.95 (0.77, 0.60, 0.62, 0.51, 0.45); II: 2.40 (0.66, 0.41, 0.49, 0.44, 0.40); III: 2.03 (0.56, 0.34, 0.40, 0.36, 0.37); IV: 3.32 (0.94, 0.48, 0.70, 0.64, 0.56). Leg spination: I—femur d1-1-0. II—femur d1-1-0; tibia v0-2-0. III—femur d1-1-0; tibia v1p-0-1p, p1-0-1; metatarsus v0-2-0, p0-0-1. IV—femur d1-1-0; tibia v1p-2-2, p1-0-1, r1-0-1; metatarsus v1-1-1, p1-0-1, r0-0-1. Epigyne: positioning ridge directed anteriorly ( Fig. 51D). Vulva: copulatory duct with three curves; connecting duct with proximal and terminal parts far apart and without twist at terminal end (close to primary spermathecae); primary spermathecae robust; fertilization duct antero-laterad ( Figs 51E, F).  Variation.Total length ( 3 males): 1.84–2.25.   Distribution.D.R. Congoand Kenya( Fig. 53). 2636225390 1995-02-22 RMCA G.
