Remarks. In both coloration and structure, this species is similar to K. semiviolacea , comb. nov. Prior to this paper, the species was included in the genus Mutilla ( Lelej 2005) , but its similarity to the males of K. annamensis and K. harmandi , and its occurrence in northern India and Nepal suggest that it belongs in Kurzenkotilla .
