This work was prompted by the rediscovery in the Natural History Museum, Vienna, of the holotype of Eudaniella (Kunziana) irengis Pretzmann, 1971, the type species of the subgenus Eudaniella (Kunziana) Pretzmann, 1971 (family Pseudothelphusidae). Unique characters of the first male gonopod of this species warrant the recognition of Kunziana Pretzmann, 1971, as a valid genus. Kunziana irengis is redescribed here from the holotype and from new material collected near the type locality in Guyana, South America, and its affinities with other genera of Kingsleyini are discussed.
