A survey of Pireneitega from Tajikistan (Agelenidae, Coelotinae)

Abstract

Five new species of Pireneitega species from Tajikistan are described: P. zonsteini sp. n. (male female), P. muratovi sp. n. (female), P. tyurai sp. n. (female), P. ramitensis sp. n. (female) and P. kovblyuki sp. n. (male). Pireneitega major (Kroneberg, 1875) is redescribed for the first time based on the lectotype designated here. DNA barcodes for the five new species are documented for future use and as proof of molecular differences between these species.
