Diagnosis.

Pimoa putou sp. nov. resembles those of P. jinchuan sp. nov. (Fig. 20A-D) and P. yele sp. nov. (Fig. 50A-D) but can be distinguished by the tongue-shaped ventral plate with two processes proximally (Fig. 39A) (vs. distally curved in P. jinchuan sp. nov. and broad in P. yele sp. nov.) and also distinguished from P. yele sp. nov. by the ventral plate slightly longer than the dorsal plate (Fig. 39B) (vs. shorter).
