 Kidarite Kingdom
All the other data we currently have on the kidarite kingdom are from the middle of the 5th c., in Chinese (Jiduoluo) and Byzantine sources (Kidaritoi).
Many small kidarites kingdoms seems to have survived in NW India up to the conquest by the Hephthalites during the last quarter of the Vth c.
The Kidarites are the last dynasty to regard themselves (on the legend of their coins) as the inheritors of the Kushan empire, then disappeared as an independent entity 2 centuries ago.

 Iranica.com - KIDARITES
The name of Kidara, the founder of the dynasty, is attested in Chinese transcription as Jiduoluo (in the Weishu), in Sanskrit as Kidara or Kid@ara (on coin legends in Br@ahm^ script; the length of the second syllable is uncertain), and in Sogdian as ky’r (on coin legends).
A Kidarite conquest of at least part of Sogdiana seems to be safely attested by coins from Samarkand, bearing on the obverse the schematized portrait of a ruler with the Sogdian legend ky’r (Zeimal 1996).
All this tends to indicate that the relatively short Kidarite period was one of recovery and better integration of the Bactrian-Sogdian region, with transfers of populations and skills from south to north.

The Kushana Kingdom controlled parts of Afghanistan and Iran, and in India the realm stretched from Purushapura (modern Peshawar, Pakistan) in the northwest, to Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) in the east, and to Sanchi (Madhya Pradesh) in the south.
The Satavahana, or Andhra, Kingdom was considerably influenced by the Mauryan political model, although power was decentralized in the hands of local chieftains, who used the symbols of Vedic religion and upheld the varnashramadharma.
