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

Diagnosis.

Pimoa shigatse sp. nov. resembles those of P. nyingchi (see Zhang et al. 2020: 91, fig. 9A-D) and P. reniformis (see Xu and Li 2007: 493, figs 42-47) but can be distinguished by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 43B) (vs. distally pointed in P. nyingchi and distally narrow in P. reniformis) and also from P. reniformis by the small separation of the spermathecae (Fig. 43A) (vs. unseparated).
