Pimoa tengchong Zhang & Li sp. nov. Figures 44, 45, 57, 59

Type material.

Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar42003), China, Yunnan, Tengchong, Xincheng District, Luoshui Cave, 25.34°N, 98.54°E, ca. 1937 m, 15.VII.2016, Y. Li leg. Paratypes: 2♀ (IZCAS-Ar42004-Ar42005), same data as holotype.

Etymology.

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

Diagnosis.

The male of Pimoa tengchong sp. nov. resembles those of P. binchuanensis (see Zhang and Li 2019: 3, fig. 1A-C) and P. duiba (see Zhang et al. 2020: 84, fig. 3A-C) but can be distinguished from P. binchuanensis by the short, broad cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 57C) (vs. broad and long) and by the distally pointed pimoid embolic process (Fig. 57C) (vs. tip with fine granulations) and distinguished from P. duiba by the embolus without a spine (Fig. 57C) (vs. with a short, slender spine proximally) and by the distally curved pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 57C) (vs. nearly V-shaped). The female of P. tengchong sp. nov. resembles P. duiba (see Zhang et al. 2020: 84, fig. 4A-D) but can be distinguished by the triangular dorsal plate (Fig. 45B) (vs. tongue-shaped) and by the medially located fertilization ducts separated by ca. 1/2 width of the dorsal plate (Fig. 45B) (vs. smaller separation).
