Diagnosis.
The species resembles Pimoa sinuosa Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga 1994a: 67, figs 266-284) but can be distinguished by the pair of round spermathecae which are close together (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 , vs. separated by ca. 1/2 the width of a spermatheca), by the medially wide dorsal plate (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 , vs. medially relatively narrow), and by the abdomen with the vertical band not extending to the distal part (Fig. 5E View Figure 5 , vs. vertical band absent).
