Longest Tributaries

These are the world's longest rivers that flow into a another river that is even longer.
Names are irrelevant here – for example, at the confluence of Mississippi and Missouri the Missouri is longer, so the upper Mississippi is the tributary.
The last entry is also the world's longest tributary of a tributary!
