Hooge M.D. & Rocha C.E.F. 2006 (citation) - p. 21, "Of the presently known species within the genus Kuma, K. asilhas is most similar to K. flava Hooge and Smith, 2004. However, K. asilhas has a longer body, a less intense yellow coloration and is without the conspicuous rhabdoid glands found in K. flava."
