Tanytarsini indet. ( Fig. 109 )

This is a new morphotype, not listed in Brooks et al. (2007).

Mandible with robust, blunt apical tooth, 2 inner teeth and 1 dorsal tooth, all brown; obvious hump present on the outer margin. Mentum strongly arched, with a tall and slender apical tooth and 5 lateral teeth, 1 to 4 subequal in size, outermost minute. Due to more structures, this morphotype was not associated to a certain genus, but its appearance indicates that it could be close to Neozavrelia , Paratanytarsus or Sublettea . The morphotype was present only in one lake.
