Pimoa jinchuan Zhang & Li sp. nov. Figures 19, 20, 55, 59

Type material.

Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41957), China, Sichuan, Jinchuan County, the bridge from Xilizhai Village to Xiaojin County, 31.34°N, 102.19°E, ca. 3411 m, 23.XI.2019, Z. Chen leg. Paratypes: 1♂1♀ (IZCAS-Ar41958-Ar41959), same data as holotype.

Etymology.

The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

Diagnosis.

The male of Pimoa jinchuan sp. nov. resembles those of P. lata (see Zhang and Li 2019: 6, fig. 3A-C), P. trifurcata Xu & Li, 2007 (see Xu and Li 2007: 496, figs 48-54) and P. yele sp. nov. (Figs 49A, B, 58A) but can be distinguished by the pimoid embolic process with scales distally and a spine subdistally (Fig. 55C) (vs. distally with two jagged tips in P. lata, a distally trifurcate apex in P. trifurcata and P. yele sp. nov.) and also from P. lata by the finger-shaped paracymbium (Fig. 55C) (vs. with a blunt tip), from P. trifurcata by the embolus without a spine (Fig. 55C) (vs. with a short, slender spine proximally), and from P. yele sp. nov. by the broad cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 55C) (vs. short and distally narrow) and by the embolus without a spine (Fig. 55C) (vs. with a short, slender spine proximally). The female of P. jinchuan sp. nov. resembles those of P. crispa (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 239-247) and P. yele sp. nov. (Fig. 50A-D) but can be distinguished by the tongue-shaped, distally curved ventral plate (Fig. 20A) (vs. triangular in P. crispa and broad in P. yele sp. nov.) and also distinguished from P. crispa by the unseparated spermathecae (Fig. 20A) (vs. separated by short distance) and from P. yele sp. nov. by the distally pointed dorsal plate (Fig. 20B) (vs. triangular with a distal tip).
