737487A06534B351FF299D6BE3241247.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males and females most closely resemble those of K. turumanya; males are distinguished by their long, spiraled embolus (Figs 2 A, 7 B, C), sinuous in the latter (Dupérré & Tapia 2015: figs. 2, 3); females are differentiated by their long, spiraled copulatory duct leading to an oval receptacle (Fig. 2 C, 7 D), whereas the copulatory duct is short, not spiraled in the latter (Dupérré & Tapia 2015: fig. 5).	en	Dupérré, Nadine, Tapia, Elicio (2025): “ Out of the blue ”, a new species of the monotypic genus Kinku Simon, 1889 (Araneae, Telemidae) from Ecuador.
