Tanytarsus takahashii Kawai et Sasa, 1985

Tanytarsus takahashii Kawai et Sasa, 1985: 22 (male, fig. 8; Japan); Ekrem 2002: 28 (male, figs 47, 48; Japan + references therein).

(Fig. 7A–C)

Material examined. Phjŏngjang, 18 July 1981, 9 males; Sokam, 8 July 1981, 2 males; leg. W. Krzemiński.

Remarks. A group membership of Tanytarsus takahashii, based on morphology, was discussed by Ekrem (2002) who indicated several possible placements for this species (the mendax, eminulus or lestagei group). Later, molecular analyses supported the concept of the lestagei group as the place for T. takahashii (Lin et al. 2018b) . The species has been also compared with the fossil species T. serafini Giłka, 2010, and suggested to belong to the serafini group (cf. Giłka 2010, pl. II, figs. 2–7 and Fig. 7A–C).
