Type material.
Holotype ♀: China: Xinjiang, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture: Tacheng (Tarbagatay) Prefecture, Hoboksar Mongol Autonomous County, Songshugou,
N46°59'21"
,
E85°57'20"
, 1858 m, 29.VII.2013, Z. Yao and Z. Zhao. Paratype: 1♀, same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a patronym in honor of the collector Zhiyuan Yao; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis.
The female can be distinguished from all other
Pireneitega
species, except
Pireneitega burqinensis
sp. n.,
Pireneitega fuyunensis
sp. n. and
Pireneitega tianchiensis
, by having the weakly sclerotized tip of septum. It can be distinguished from these three species by the nearly rectangular epigynal atrium (while
Pireneitega burqinensis
sp. n. has a nearly triangular atrium; and
Pireneitega tianchiensis
and
Pireneitega fuyunensis
sp. n., large and nearly square-shaped atrium) (cf. Figs 2

and 16

: figs 84-85).
