Pimoa bomi Zhang & Li sp. nov. Figures 3 View Figure 3 , 4 View Figure 4 , 54 View Figure 54 , 59 View Figure 59

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 View Figure 13 , 54D View Figure 54 ), 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 View Figure 54 ) (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 View Figure 54 ) (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 View Figure 4 ) (vs. pointed) and from P. reniformis by the round spermathecae (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ) (vs. bean-shaped).
