Etymology
Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis. The male can be distinguished from all other Pireneitega species except P. huashanensis and P. luniformis, by having a longer cymbial furrow and the arched tip of conductor. From P. huashanensis it can be distinguished by the thick tip of the patellar apophysis and the narrow and straight embolus base (vs the thin tip of the patellar apophysis and the elongate embolus base in P. huashanensis, and the tapering tip of the patellar apophysis, and the small and nearly triangular embolus base in P. luniformis) (Figs 1, 5; Zhu & Wang 1994: figs 7-8). The female can be distinguished from all other Pireneitega species except P. luniformis by having a blunt tip of the septum and a short receptacle. From P. luniformis it can be distinguished by long copulatory ducts, and the median part subequal to the length of receptacle (vs short copulatory ducts in P. luniformis) (Fig. 6; Zhu & Wang 1994: figs 5-6).
