Diagnosis.
Pimoa koshi sp. nov. resembles those of P. nyalam sp. nov. (Fig. 36A-D View Figure 36 ) and P. nyingchi (see Zhang et al. 2020: 91, fig. 9A-D) but can be distinguished by the spermathecae separated by the width of a spermatheca (Fig. 22A View Figure 22 ) (vs. separated by ca. 1/3 width of a spermatheca in P. nyalam sp. nov. and unseparated in P. nyingchi ) and also distinguished from P. nyingchi by the anteriorly oriented fertilization ducts (Fig. 22B View Figure 22 ) (vs. laterally oriented) and from P. nyalam sp. nov. by the pointed dorsal plate (Fig. 22B View Figure 22 ) (vs. blunt).
