Diagnosis.

The male can be distinguished from all other Pireneitega species, except Pireneitega burqinensis sp. n., Pireneitega fuyunensis sp. n. and Pireneitega tianchiensis, by having a hook-shaped conductor and the small bulb, and can be distinguished from these species by the long tibia, subequal to the length of cymbium (the short tibia, about 1/2 length of cymbium, in Pireneitega burqinensis sp. n., Pireneitega fuyunensis sp. n. and Pireneitega tianchiensis) (cf. Figs 1, 3, 12 and 14; Wang et al. 1990: figs 81-83).
