The specific name is named after the collector Zhigang Chen and is a noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis.
Pimoa zhigangi 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 spermathecae which are separated by ca. 1/2 the width of a spermatheca (Fig. 53A View Figure 53 ) (vs. unseparated) and also from P. nyingchi by the distally narrow dorsal plate (Fig. 53B View Figure 53 ) (vs. distally pointed).
Description.
Female (holotype): Total length 6.49. Carapace 3.24 long, 2.66 wide. Abdomen 3.25 long, 4.28 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.17, ALE 0.19, PME 0.15, PLE 0.19; AME-AME 0.10, AME-ALE 0.13, PME-PME 0.14, PME-PLE 0.19. Leg measurements: I: 25.70 (7.41, 8.69, 7.22, 2.38); II: 21.65 (6.44, 6.81, 6.09, 2.31); III: 15.75 (4.81, 4.94, 4.41, 1.59); IV: 20.62 (6.34, 6.75, 5.66, 1.87).
