- 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.
