Piratula Roewer, 1960 View in CoL
Type species. Piratula hygrophila ( Thorell, 1872) View in CoL from England ( Blackwall 1861), by subsequent designation ( Roewer 1955).
Remarks. We considered both Pirata and Piratula for the inclusion of this new species, however, it best fits the generic characters of the genus Piratula as defined by Omelko et al. (2011): large, longer than wide and C-shaped tegular apophysis, underdeveloped subterminal apophysis, sperm duct with an almost transverse course, and having a prolateral tibial spine on leg I in female.
