Pireneitega Kishida, 1955: 11. Type species Amaurobius roscidus L. Koch, 1868 (= P. segestriformis (Dufour, 1820)) from Germany.

Diagnosis.

Females of Pireneitega can be distinguished from all other coelotine genera by the widely separated epigynal teeth, the large atrium with subparallel margins, and the broad copulatory ducts (Fig. 2 A–B); other coelotines usually have a small atrium and copulatory ducts. The males can be distinguished by the small RTA, the distinct median apophysis and the absence of a conductor dorsal apophysis (Fig. 1 A–C); other coelotines usually have a broad conductor dorsal apophysis and a reduced or indistinct median apophysis ( Zhang and Marusik 2016).
