Type
material.
Holotype ♂ (ZMMU): Tajikstan, Khatlon Area, Dangara Distr., Sanglogh (=Sanglok) Mt. Range above Shar-Shar Pass,
38°17'56"N
,
69°13'36"E
, 1700-2060 m, 29.04.2015, (Y.M. Marusik). Paratypes: 3♂ (IZCAS), 2♂ (ZMMU), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a patronym in honour of the well known arachnologist and friend of the junior author Mykola M. Kovblyuk (Simferopol, Ukraine); noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis.
The male can be distinguished from all other
Pireneitega
species except
Pireneitega tianchiensis
by having a hook-shaped conductor, and narrow cymbium. It can be distinguished from
Pireneitega tianchiensis
by the short cymbial furrow, ca. 1/10 length of cymbium (vs long cymbial furrow in
Pireneitega tianchiensis
, about 0.5 length of cymbium) (Fig. 6;
Wang et al. 1990
: figs 81-83).

Male (holotype): Total length 7.90. Carapace 4.00 long, 3.00 wide. Abdomen 3.90 long, 2.65 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.15, ALE 0.20, PME 0.18, PLE 0.19; AME-AME 0.08, AME-ALE 0.07, PME-PME 0.13, PME-PLE 0.15. Leg measurements: I: 10.90 (3.25, 4.05, 2.00, 1.60); II: 9.85 (3.00, 3.50, 2.00,
