Tanytarsus

- Tanytarsus was by far the most common tanytarsine collected, with 140 specimens representing nine species. The majority did not fit descriptions of any known species, except T. cf. capaira (two specimens) resembles T. capaira described by Trivinho-Strixino & Strixino (2007) from Brazil, but appears a bit different; T. sp. ZUR-8 (one specimen) is also similar to T. cf. caipira but is much smaller. Tanytarsus sp. ZUR-5 (16 specimens) is similar to T. cotopaxi Giłka & Zakrzewska , described from Ecuador ( Giłka & Zakrzewska 2013). The majority of specimens were T. sp. ZUR-1 (47 specimens), including an intersex specimen; 23 specimens of T. sp. ZUR-2; 34 specimens of T. sp. ZUR-3; 14 specimens of T. sp. ZUR-6; and one specimen of T. sp. ZUR-7.
