- Tanypus punctipennis Meigen (Figs. 13–14) Tanypus punctipennis Meigen, 1818: 61. Zavrelimyia inaveua Sasa, Kitami et Suzuki, 2001: 23, Fig. 25 a–j. [Holotype 401 (2): 050.] Syn. nov. Zavrelimyia inaveua is characterized by a large (150 μm long, 100 μm wide), ovoid scutal tubercle (Fig. 13); MCu proximal to FCu (see Sasa et al. 2001, Fig. 25 d); tibial spurs slender, elongate, main tooth 1 / 3 – 1 / 2 spur length, with 2–3 lateral teeth (Fig. 14). These are all characters diagnostic of the genus Tanypus Meigen. The wing membrane of Z. inaveua has 4 dark spots in cell r 2 + 3, identical to those in Tanypus punctipennis Meigen. Z. inaveua is thus regarded as a junior synonym of T. punctipennis. Tanypus punctipennis is widely distributed in the Palaearctic region (Ashe & Cranston 1990), and also in Japan (Tokunaga 1937; Hashimoto 1985). In earlier records from Japan, almost all Tanypus were identified as T. punctipennis. Recently, the first author has found larvae which are similar to T. chinensis Wang, 1994. However, there is wide intraspecific morphological variation in the genus, which requires a more detailed study of the Japanese specimens.
