Diagnosis.

Pimoa mude sp. nov. resembles those of P. daman sp. nov. (Fig. 6A-D) and P. zhigangi sp. nov. (Fig. 53A-D) but can be distinguished from the nearly oval spermathecae separated by a short distance (Fig. 30A) (vs. triangular, unseparated in P. daman sp. nov. and nearly round, separated by ca. 1/2 width of a spermatheca in P. zhigangi sp. nov.) and also distinguished from P. daman sp. nov. by the narrow ventral plate (Fig. 30A) (vs. wider), from P. zhigangi sp. nov. by the distally narrow ventral plate (Fig. 30A) (vs. broad), and by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 30B) (vs. pointed).
