Diagnosis.
The chelicerae of all
Pireneitega
have 3 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth; other coelotines usually have 2 or 4 retromarginal teeth. The females of this genus can be separated from other coelotines by the widely separated long epigynal teeth, the large epigynal atrium with weakly sclerotized septum, and broad copulatory ducts (Fig. 6
A-B
); other coelotines usually have a small epigynal atrium, the short epigynal teeth and narrow copulatory ducts. The males of this genus can be distinguished from other coelotines by with an elongated and flattened conductor which is usually twisted into a circle horizontally or vertically and a large median apophysis (Fig. 1
A-C
); other coelotines usually have a broad or short conductor and a reduced or indistinct median apophysis.
