Pimoa mainling Zhang & Li, sp. nov. Figures 6 View Figure 6 , 7 View Figure 7 , 16 View Figure 16
Type material.
Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar40320), China, Tibet, Nyingchi, Mainling County, along the way from Zhagonggou Scenic Area to Ganlu Cave, 29.16°N, 94.23°E, elevation ca. 3440 m, 27.VIII.2018, X. Zhang and J. Liu leg. Paratypes: 2♀ (IZCAS-Ar40321-Ar40322), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of Pimoa mainling sp. nov. resembles P. binchuanensis (see Zhang and Li 2019: 3, figs 1, 2) but can be distinguished by the distally curved and nearly hook-shaped pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 6B View Figure 6 , vs. medially curved and nearly U-shaped). The male of P. mainling also resembles P. crispa Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 233-238; Hormiga 1994b: fig 1A, B) but can be distinguished by a distally narrow cymbial denticulate process with few cuspules (Fig. 6B View Figure 6 , vs. distally wide cymbial denticulate process with many cuspules). The female of P. mainling resembles P. crispa Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 239-247) but can be distinguished by the distance between the pair of spermathecae which is ca. 1/3 the width of a spermatheca (Fig. 7A View Figure 7 , vs. shorter distance between spermathecae) and by the funnel-shaped epigyne, which is distally straight and long (Fig. 7A-D View Figure 7 , vs. triangular epigyne).

Legs brownish with black annulations, especially distinct on legs III and IV. Palp (Fig. 6A-C View Figure 6 ): patella short, ca. 1/3 of tibial length, with one retrolateral macroseta; tibia almost the same length as cymbium, with several macrosetae and a dorsal process; paracymbium short, ca. 1/3 of cymbial length, hook-shaped; pimoid cymbial sclerite distally curved, ca. 1/2 of cymbial length; cymbial denticulate process short, distally narrow and blunt, with more than ten cuspules; median apophysis slender; conductor distinct; pimoid embolic process long, slightly wider distally; embolus beginning at the 7:30 o’clock position; embolic tooth absent.
Female (paratype): Total length 8.78. Carapace 3.40 long, 3.01 wide. Abdomen 5.38 long, 4.55 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.17, ALE 0.19, PME 0.19, PLE 0.20; AME-AME 0.15, AME-ALE 0.17, PME-PME 0.17, PME-PLE 0.21. Leg measurements: I: 21.22 (6.15, 7.37, 5.58, 2.12); II: 18.33 (5.32, 6.22, 4.74, 2.05); III: 13.14 (4.17, 4.10, 3.40, 1.47); IV: - (5.06, 5.51, 4.42, -). Habitus as in Fig. 7F, G View Figure 7 . Carapace yellowish with black lateral margins; thoracic fovea and radial grooves distinct; sternum brownish. Abdomen black with yellowish transverse chevron bands. Legs brownish with distinct black annulations on all legs. Epigyne (Fig. 7A-D View Figure 7 ): funnel-shaped; ventral and dorsal plates narrow; copulatory openings distinct; spermathecae nearly oval, separated by ca. 1/3 width of spermatheca; fertilization ducts membranous, anteriorly oriented.
