(after Framenau et al. 2023): Males of K. fleurae are separated from those of all other species of the genus by their unique long and sharp basoembolic apophyses and flat and broad embolus. They are most similar to K. asterix but differ from those in that the basoembolic apophysis is not folded ventrally. The female of K. fleurae is unknown.
