The adult male of the new species is shorter in body size and wing length, and has a higher front leg and hind leg LR compared to its congeners. It can be further distinguished from Krenopelopia alba, K. hudsoni, and K. batuensis by having the anterior third of tergites VI–VII dark brown. It differs from K. binotata by having lower AR of 1.17 (AR = 1.38 in K. binotata). The new species is distinguished from K. narda by the latter possessing inner spurs on legs II and III, each with only one lateral tooth, and an AR of 1.34. Additionally, it differs from K. nigropunctata in the latter’s higher AR (1.43). The adult female of the new species differs from K. alba by having lower AR of 0.20 (AR = 0.30 [0.28–0.33] in K. alba) and from K. hudsoni by having higher LR 1 of 0.78 (LR 1 = 0.70 in K. hudsoni).</p><p>Ecological notes. The new species was collected from a rivulet with abundant vegetation, where the substrate consisted of smooth rocks (Fig. 8).</p><p>Distribution.
