- Economic Importance: According to Williams (1970a), although widespread on sugarcane in India, this species is not a serious pest.
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration given by Ezzat (1962b) (as K.cellulosa), Williams (1970DJ), Avasthi & Shafee (1987) and by Tang (1992).Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949).Good description and illustration given by Hadzibejli (1960).
