Type material.

Holotype: ♀ (IZCAS-Ar42001), China, Tibet, Shigatse, the 1220 km marker on the way of Yadong County to Kambu Township, 27.59°N, 88.91°E, ca. 3401 m, 11.X.2020, Z. Chen leg. Paratype: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar42002), same data as holotype.

Etymology.

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

Diagnosis.

Pimoa shigatse sp. nov. 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 by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 43B View Figure 43 ) (vs. distally pointed in P. nyingchi and distally narrow in P. reniformis ) and also from P. reniformis by the small separation of the spermathecae (Fig. 43A View Figure 43 ) (vs. unseparated).

Description.

Female (holotype): Total length 9.52. Carapace 3.08 long, 3.36 wide. Abdomen 6.44 long, 5.52 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.20, ALE 0.18, PME 0.16, PLE 0.18; AME-AME 0.09, AME-ALE 0.33, PME-PME 0.19, PME-PLE 0.32. Leg measurements: I: 37.06 (10.28, 12.34, 10.56, 3.88); II: 34.65 (9.64, 11.24, 10.36, 3.41); III: 23.91 (7.24, 6.59, 7.80, 2.28); IV: 32.07 (9.02, 10.56, 9.81, 2.68).
