Abstract
Five new species of Pireneitega species from Tajikistan are described: Pireneitega zonsteinisp. n. (♂♀), Pireneitega muratovisp. n. (♀), Pireneitega tyuraisp. n. (♀), Pireneitega ramitensissp. n. (♀) and Pireneitega kovblyukisp. n. (♂). Pireneitega major (Kroneberg, 1875) is redescribed for the first time based on the lectotype designated here. DNA barcodes for the five new species are documented for future use and as proof of molecular differences between these species.

is the largest subfamily of with more than 650 species distributed in the Holarctic and southeast Asia (World Spider Catalog 2016). Kishida, 1955 with 30 species distributed across the Palaearctic (World Spider Catalog 2016, Zhang et al. 2016) is one of the most species-rich genera of the subfamily. It is relatively well studied in comparison to other species-rich (and non-monophyletic) genera Blackwall, 1841 and Ovtchinnikov, 1999. The species PageBreakof found in Caucasus and Xinjiang were recently revised (Kovblyuk et al. 2013; Zhang et al. 2016) but the genus remains poorly studied in Central Asia. Of three species known from central Asia (Mikhailov 2013: (Ermolajev, 1927) (currently considered a junior synonym of (L. Koch, 1878)), (Charitonov, 1946) and (Kroneberg, 1875)), is known only from the original description and only from two very short descriptions supplied with sketchy figures. A short trip by the junior author to Tajikistan revealed five new morphospecies of , each separated by distinct genetic gaps. The goal of this paper is to provide descriptions of the new species (including records of their molecular markers) and a redescription of whose type locality lies in northern Tajikistan.
Material and methods
Specimens were examined and measured with a Leica M205C stereomicroscope. Images were captured with an Olympus C7070 wide zoom digital camera (7.1 megapixels) mounted on an Olympus SZX12 dissecting microscope. Epigynes and male palps were examined after dissection. Epigynes were cleared by boiling it in 10% KOH solution before taking photos of the dorsal view. All measurements are given in millimeters. was photographed and drawn using an MBS-9 stereomicroscope with Pro-MicroScancamera. Leg measurements are given as: total length (femur, patella + tibia, metatarsus, tarsus).Terminology used for copulatory organ characters in the text and figure legends follows Wang (2002) with some modifications.Abbreviations used in the text and figure legends are:Aepigynal atriumALEanterior lateral eyeAMEanterior median eyeAME-ALEdistance between AME and ALEAME-AMEdistance between AME and AMEALE-PLEdistance between ALE and PLECDcopulatory ductsCFcymbial furrowCOconductorddorsalEembolusEBembolic baseETepigynal teethFDfertilization ductsFefemurHepigynal hoodMAmedian apophysisMtmetatarsuspprolateralPApatellar apophysisPapatellaPLEposterior lateral eyePMEposterior median eyePME-PLEdistance between PME and PLEPME-PMEdistance between PME and PMERreceptaclerretrolateralRTAretrolateral tibial apophysisSTsubtegulumTtegulumTatarsusTitibiavventralVTAventral tibial apophysisDNA barcodes were obtained for future use: a partial fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) was amplified and sequenced for five new species using Primers LCO1490-oono (5’-CWACAAAYCATARRGATATTGG-3’) (Folmer et al. 1994; Miller et al. 2010) and HCO2198-zz (5’-TAAACTTCCAGGTGACCAAAAAATCA-3’) (Folmer et al. 1994; Zhao and Li 2016).

Note.
was long considered a nomen nudum (Yaginuma, in Brignoli 1983: p. 468). Kishida (1955), in a general survey of , considered to have been described by himself in 1928, although he had no publications that year. The genus " Kishida, 1928 [Genotype: roscida (Koch, 1868)]" was considered among the tribe Kishida, 1928 (Kishida 1955: p. 11). Although eye pattern was mentioned in the key to the genera of "", Kishida (1955) did not provide a formal description of the genus. Brignoli (1982) described (type species Brignoli, 1978) from Turkey. Subsequently, Wang and Jäger (2007) revalidated with as a junior synonym.
Diagnosis.
The chelicerae in most species of (including the type species) have 3 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth; other coelotines have either 2 or 4 retromarginal teeth (Zhang et al. 2016). The females can be distinguished by the widely separated epigynal teeth, the large atrium with subparallel margins, and the broad copulatory ducts (Fig. 2A–B); other coelotines usually have a small atrium and copulatory ducts. The males can be distinguished by the absence of a dorsal “apophysis” on the conductor, the small RTA, and the distinct median apophysis (Fig. 1A–C); other coelotines usually have a broad dorsal apophysis on the conductor and a reduced or indistinct median apophysis.

All records of this unknown species are from Xinjiang, China.This species is easily distinguished from other species of found in Tajikistan by its larger size (carapace length >6 mm vs <4.75) and having 5 spines on tarsus IV (vs other species with 0‒4). The epigyne of is most similar to that of sp. n. and sp. n. It can be distinguished from sp. n. by its shorter receptacles with length/width ratio of 2.3 (vs 2.6 in ), shape of copulatory ducts, and shorter teeth (cf. Figs 3A–B and 7A–B). can be separated from sp. n by its wider epigynal atrium and shorter, wider receptacles as well as by its shorter and wider copulatory ducts (cf.
