6F2687F2417B0D557BEB1439A548FBDD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is similar to K. pearsonianus (Pickford, 1975) with muscular septa at 4 / 5 – 6 / 7 but differs by the position of calciferous glands in segment 9 (in 10 in K. pearsonianus). K. kleinoodi sp. n. has five pairs of spermathecae whilst K. pearsonianus has three. Furthermore, the clitellum in K. kleinoodi is on 12 – 27 and extends slightly to 28 in the paratype, but it covers segments 11 – 28 in pearsonianus. K. nietvoorbiji sp. n. and K. nieuwoudtvillensis sp. n. (see below) also have thickened septa 4 / 5 – 6 / 7 but differs from K. kleinoodi in the number of spermathecae (5, 6, 4 respectively). Some of the characters specific for this species are indicated in Table 1.	en	Plisko, Thembeka Clara Nxele Jadwiga Danuta, Mwabvu, Tarombera, Zishiri, Oliver Tendayi (2017): Four new earthworm species of Kazimierzus Plisko, 2006 (Clitellata, Kazimierzidae).

In K. occidualis the anterior pair of seminal vesicles is confined to segment 11, the posterior pair may extend through 12 and 13, while in K. phumlani the anterior pair is confined to segment 11 and the posterior pair to 12.
