Tanytarsus chinyensis Goetghebuer, 1934

Tanytarsus chinyensis Goetghebuer : Reiss & Fittkau 1971: 99, 169 (male, fig. 6, systematics); Giłka & Paasivirta 2009: 32 , 40 (male, fig. 28, systematics); Lin et al. 2018a: 330, 387 (systematics); Lin et al. 2018b: 10, 11 (systematics).

Material examined. Phjŏngjang, 18 July 1981, 1 male, leg. W. Krzemiński.

Remarks. Reiss and Fittkau (1971) indicated this species as representative of the chinyensis group. The concept was recently refuted, and the former chinyensis group was proposed to be split into several unrelated clusters/groups ( Lin et al. 2018a, b). Alternatively, the group was postulated to be reduced. However, Tanytarsus chinyensis was not included in the analyses (op. cit.), thus according to this concept, the group name-bearing species is unplaced in any of the species groups proposed, apparently, except for the chinyensis group (see also remarks to T. tamadecimus below). In the material analysed, we found a single male collected in the Botanical Garden in Phjŏngjang.
