Type material.
Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar40333), China, Tibet, Lhoka, Samyai Town, along the way to Qingpu Practice Cave, 29.38°N, 91.55°E, elevation ca. 4231 m, 15.VIII.2018, X. Zhang and J. Liu leg. Paratypes: 1♂1♀ (IZCAS-Ar40334-Ar40335), same data as holotype; 2♀ (IZCAS-Ar40336-Ar40337), Lhoka, Aza Town, along the way to Zonggongbu Cave, 29.37°N, 91.32°E, elevation ca. 4389 m, 14.VIII.2018, X. Zhang and J. Liu leg.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of Pimoa samyai sp. nov. resembles P. binchuanensis (see Zhang and Li 2019: 3, figs 1, 2) and P. crispa Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 233-238; Hormiga 1994b: fig. 1A, B) but can be distinguished by the short and distally narrow cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 12B View Figure 12 , vs. long and distally wide in P. binchuanensis ; vs. distally wide in P. crispa ); distinguished from P. binchuanensis by the nearly L-shaped pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 12B View Figure 12 , vs. nearly U-shaped); distinguished from P. crispa by a palpal tibia that is ca. 1/2 of the cymbial length (Fig. 12A-C View Figure 12 , vs. tibia almost the same length as cymbium). The female of P. samyai resembles P. crispa Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 239-247) and P. indiscreta Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga 1994a: 66, figs 248-255) but can be distinguished by the distance between the pair of spermathecae which is ca. 1/2 the width of a spermatheca (Fig. 13C View Figure 13 , vs. separated by ca. 1/4 the width of a spermatheca in P. crispa and P. indiscreta ) and by the distally wide dorsal plate (Fig. 13C View Figure 13 , vs. distally narrow in P. crispa and P. indiscreta ).
