Type material.
Holotype ♀ (ZMMU): Tajikstan: Khatlon Area, Khovaling Distr., Obimazar River, Sultan-Mazar, clay cliffs, 38°28'19"N, 70°04'01"E, 1854 m, 27.04.2015 (Y.M. Marusik). Paratypes: 4♀ (IZCAS), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The species is named after Sergei V. Tyura (Magadan, Russia) a friend of the junior author; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis.
The female can be distinguished from all other Pireneitega species except Pireneitega tianchiensis (Wang et al., 1990) by having short receptacles and copulatory ducts. It can be distinguished from Pireneitega tianchiensis by the broad and long epigynal teeth, about 0.85 times as long as atrium (vs short and narrow epigynal teeth in Pireneitega tianchiensis, about 0.5 times as long as atrium) (Fig. 4 A–B; Wang et al. 1990: figs 84-85).
Description.
Male: unknown.
Female (holotype): Total length 5.15. Carapace 2.15 long, 1.75 wide. Abdomen 3.00 long, 2.00 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.10, ALE 0.13, PME 0.15, PLE 0.15; AME-AME 0.05, AME-ALE 0.10, PME-PME 0.02, PME-PLE 0.04. Leg measurements: I: 6.20 (1.90, 2.25, 1.25, 0.80); II: 5.10 (1.60, 1.75, 1.00, 0.75); III: 4.80 (1.50, 1.60, 1.00, 0.70); IV: 7.05 (2.05, 2.50, 1.50, 1.00). Carapace yellow, with black lateral margins. Abdomen blackish, with yellow herringbone pattern.
Epigyne as in Fig. 4 A–B: epigynal teeth long (nearly as long as atrium); septum with weakly sclerotized tip, about 0.5 times as long as wide; atrium with weakly sclerotized posterior margin, about 0.7 times as long as wide, about 1.8 times longer than and 0.7 times as wide as septum; copulatory opening hidden; receptacles large, ca. 2 times longer than wide; copulatory ducts with two parts, terminal parts (Tp) not touching each other, about 0.5 length of receptacles, basal parts (Bp) shorter than width of receptacle; hoods indistinct.
