Pimoa gyara Zhang & Li sp. nov. Figures 13, 14, 54, 59

Type material.

Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41945), China, Tibet, Nyingchi, Gongbo’gyamda County, Gyara Village, 30.01°N, 93.78°E, ca. 3460 m, 14.VII.2019, X. Zhang, Z. Bai and J. Liu leg. Paratypes: 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar41946-Ar41948), same data as holotype.

Etymology.

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

Diagnosis.

The male of Pimoa gyara sp. nov. resembles those of P. nyingchi (see Zhang et al. 2020: 91, fig. 8A-C) and P. reniformis (see Xu and Li 2007: 493, figs 36-41) but can be distinguished from P. nyingchi by the narrow and distally curved cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 54D) (vs. flat distally and wide) and from P. reniformis by the U-shaped pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 54D) (vs. triangular). The female of P. gyara sp. nov. also resembles P. nyingchi (see Zhang et al. 2020: 91, fig. 9A-D) but can be distinguished by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 14B) (vs. pointed) and by the spermathecae separated by ca. 1/2 width of spermatheca (Fig. 14A) (vs. close to each other).
