Type material.

Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41925), China, Tibet, Nyingchi, Bomi County, Karlung Village, 30.04°N, 95.56°E, ca. 3147 m, 26.VII.2019, X. Zhang, Z. Bai and J. Liu leg. Paratypes: 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar41926-Ar41928), same data as holotype.

Etymology.

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

Diagnosis.

The male of Pimoa bomi sp. nov. resembles those of P. gyara sp. nov. (Figs 13A, B, 54D), P. nyingchi Zhang & Li, 2020 (see Zhang et al. 2020: 91, fig. 8A-C), and P. reniformis Xu & Li, 2007 (see Xu and Li 2007: 493, figs 36-41) but can be distinguished by the short and broad cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 54B) (vs. narrow and distally curved in P. gyara sp. nov., short, distally wide, and bent inward in P. nyingchi, and robust, broad, and distally curved in P. reniformis), and additionally from P. gyara sp. nov. and P. nyingchi by the wide, V-shaped pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 54B) (vs. narrow and U-shaped in P. gyara sp. nov. and narrow in P. nyingchi). The female of P. bomi sp. nov. also 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 from P. nyingchi by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 4B) (vs. pointed) and from P. reniformis by the round spermathecae (Fig. 4A) (vs. bean-shaped).
