6E5087CFF37BB423FF06F5B8FF20FCEC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is very similar to K. longaria Mey 1996 and especially Kisaura filiformis Mey 1996 (both reported from Vietnam) as they all have very long lateral spiniform processes of tergum X and finger-like preanal appendages. However, in K. teestaensis tergite VIII is produced posteromedially; the lateral spiniform processes are very long, reaching beyond the apices of the terminal segments of the inferior appendages in both lateral and dorsal views, whereas, in K. filiformis, tergite VIII is not produced posteromedially; and the long lateral spiniform processes do not reach beyond the apices of terminal segments of the inferior appendages.	en	Pandher, Manpreet Singh, Kaur, Simarjit, Parey, Sajad Hussain (2020): Review of the genus Kisaura Ross 1956 (Trichoptera: Philopotamidae) from India.

6E5087CFF37FB425FF06F0ACFE5EFAAC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Due to the presence of a broad (outstanding) segment IX and long terminal segment of each inferior appendage, Kisaura sangtam sp. nov. is similar to Kisaura peleg Malicky & Laudee 2009 (in Malicky 2009) reported from Thailand. However, K. sangtam has long lateral spiniform processes reaching beyond the apices of the basal segments of the inferior appendages, and beak-like preanal appeadages; in contrast, the lateral spiniform processes are small (just crossing the bases of the basal segments of the inferior appenadages) and the preanal appenadages are bird-head-like in K. peleg.	en	Pandher, Manpreet Singh, Kaur, Simarjit, Parey, Sajad Hussain (2020): Review of the genus Kisaura Ross 1956 (Trichoptera: Philopotamidae) from India.
