Type material: Holotype: female ( IZCAS), Tongtian Cave [24°38.036ʹN, 110°25.053ʹE, alt. 188 m], Maling Town , Lipu County, Guilin, Guangxi, China, 20 August 2009, Z.Y. Yao and C.X. Wang leg. GoogleMaps Paratype: 1 female ( IZCAS), same data as holotype GoogleMaps .
Etymology: The specific name is a patronym in honor of the collector C. X. Wang (Chunxia Wang, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing).
30A, 32B, 34A, 36C, 59A, 60A), but can be distinguished by the shape of pore plates of epigynum (Figs 59B, 60B). This species can be distinguished from K. jaegeri Huber, 2005 and K. schwendingeri Huber, 2005 by the black margins and the black median stripe behind ocular area (Fig. 59C).
Description: Female (holotype): Total length 2.34 (2.45 with clypeus), prosoma 0.77 long, 0.91 wide, opisthosoma 1.57 long, 1.27 wide. Leg I: 16.92 (4.22 + 0.44 + 4.38 + 5.91 + 1.97), leg II: 10.95 (3.09 + 0.39 + 2.68 + 3.61 + 1.18), leg III: 8.30 (2.45 + 0.36 + 1.97 + 2.70 + 0.82), leg IV: 10.65 (3.25 + 0.37 + 2.56 + 3.63 + 0.84); tibia I L/d: 40. Habitus as in Figs 59C–D. Dorsal shield of prosoma yellowish, with black margins and black median stripe behind ocular area; sternum black. Legs yellowish, with slightly darker rings on femora (subdistally) and tibiae (proximally and subdistally). Opisthosoma grey with large black spots dorsally and ventrally. Ocular area slightly elevated and separated from prosoma, thoracic furrow shallow but distinct; distance PME-PME 0.08; diameter PME 0.12; distance PME-ALE 0.01; AME absent. Sternum slightly wider than long (0.67/0.62). Retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia I at 14%; legs with short vertical hairs on all metatarsi (mostly dorsally and laterally), without spines and curved hairs; tarsus I with more than 37 pseudosegments, only about 12 distinct ones distally. Genital area brown (Figs 59A, 60A), with internal structures nearly invisible through cuticle, without distinct pockets. Dorsal view of epigynum (Figs 59B, 60B) with two pore plates.
Variation: Unknown (Leg I lost in another specimen).
Distribution: The species is known only from the type locality ( Fig. 61 View FIGURE 61 ).
