Pimoa miandam Zhang & Li sp. nov. Figures 26, 27, 56, 59

Type material.

Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41969), Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Swat, Miandam, near river, 35.03°N, 72.57°E, ca. 2242 m, 31.V.2019, A. Ali leg. Paratypes: 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar41970-Ar41972), same data as holotype.

Etymology.

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

Diagnosis.

The male of Pimoa miandam sp. nov. resembles those of P. duiba Zhang & Li, 2020 (see Zhang et al. 2020: 84, fig. 3A-C) and P. rongxar (see Zhang et al. 2020: 94, fig. 10A-C) but can be distinguished from P. duiba by the pimoid embolic process with a slender and nearly medial spine (Fig. 56A) (vs. without a spine) and by the embolus beginning at the 8:00 o’clock position (Fig. 56A) (vs. 7:00), and distinguished from P. rongxar by the V-shaped, distally curved pimoid cymbial sclerite, ca. 1/3 of cymbial length (Fig. 56A) (vs. large, long, and subdistally wide pimoid cymbial sclerite). The female of P. miandam sp. nov. also resembles those of P. duiba (see Zhang et al. 2020: 84, fig. 4A-D) and P. rongxar (see Zhang et al. 2020: 94, fig. 11A-D) but can be distinguished from P. duiba by the unseparated spermathecae (Fig. 27A) (vs. a short distance between the spermathecae) and from P. rongxar by the tongue shaped ventral plate (Fig. 27A) (vs. triangular).
