    It probably is.
    The female is hard to tell.
    Just at the base of the proboscis is a small kob which is the palpi 3rd segment.
    The shape of the band is broad in females of both species .
    On the upperside the band reaches the costal margin inK. sindu but does not in K. rubecula.

    K. sindu female.
    Palpi 3rd segment short & like a knob ;Upperside orange band reaches costa.
