K. permira is from Eocene portion of the Danata Formation Lagerstatten (which otherwise spans the Thanetian epoch of the Paleocene to the Lowest Eocene), of Turkmenistan. A second, as yet undescribed species is from the Fuller's Earth formation Lagerstatten in the Barmer District, of Ypresian Rajasthan, India.
