Diagnosis.

Pimoa koshi sp. nov. resembles those of P. nyalam sp. nov. (Fig. 36A-D) and P. nyingchi (see Zhang et al. 2020: 91, fig. 9A-D) but can be distinguished by the spermathecae separated by the width of a spermatheca (Fig. 22A) (vs. separated by ca. 1/3 width of a spermatheca in P. nyalam sp. nov. and unseparated in P. nyingchi) and also distinguished from P. nyingchi by the anteriorly oriented fertilization ducts (Fig. 22B) (vs. laterally oriented) and from P. nyalam sp. nov. by the pointed dorsal plate (Fig. 22B) (vs. blunt).
