Description

Tanytarsus rafaeli Reis, Lin et Ferreira-Keppler, 2022

(Fig. 9A–C)

Tanytarsus rafaeli Reis, Lin et Ferreira-Keppler, 2022: 431 (adult male; Brazil, Amazonas, Manaus).

Material examined: BRAZIL. Amazonas: Manaus, Experimental Station ZF-2, Km 14, 02°35′21″S, 60°06′55′′W, Malaise trap, 15-28.ii.2017, legs. J.A. Rafael & F.F. Xavier, 2 ♁♁ (INPA). Tocantins: Palmas, Igarapé da Onça, 02-14.vi.2016, 48°15′31.10″W, 10°06′44.50″S, 596m a.s.l., Malaise trap, legs. S. R. M Couceiro, G. Amora, 2 ♁♁ (INPA); Igarapé do Gilson, 02-14.vi.2016, 48°12′45.40″W, 10°10′24.80″S, 586m a.s.l., Malaise trap, legs. S. R. M Couceiro, G. Amora, 1 ♁ (INPA).

Remarks. In the illustrations (Fig. 9), we present several variations of the anal point, as well as the superior volsella and the digitus of Tanytarsus rafaeli, in the dorsal and ventral aspects, with individual parts marked with colours to avoid overinterpretation of these diagnostic characters in the future. For justification of including T. rafaeli to the kiche group see remarks to T. marianae (above), both species considered here as morphologically close.
