Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the occurrence of the species in the Pyrenees mountain range.

Diagnosis. Males and females can be distinguished from other species in the pullata -group, except P. p u l - lata, by comparatively short legs I and II as well as the occurrence of scopulate hairs on Ti (distally only), Mt and Ta of legs I and II. Males can be distinguished from those of P. p u l l a t a by the shape of the distally tapering embolus. Females can be distinguished from those of P. pullata by the course of the receptacula and usually by proportions in the shape of the epigyne (some overlap due to morphological variation).
