Type material.
Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41938), China, Tibet, Nyingchi, Bayi District, Lunang Town, Dongjiu Village, 29.82°N, 94.74°E, ca. 3117 m, 29.IX.2020, Z. Chen leg. Paratype: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar41939), China, Tibet, Nyingchi, Bomi County, Yuri Township, the bridge in Dazeshan Village, 30.28°N, 95.28°E, ca. 3199 m, 27.IX.2020, Z. Chen leg.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of Pimoa dongjiu sp. nov. resembles those of P. anatolica Hormiga, 1994 (see Xu and Li 2007: 484, figs 1-8) and P. lihengae (see Griswold et al. 1999: 93, figs 15-17) but can be distinguished by the embolus beginning at the 6:30 o’clock position with a short, slender spine proximally (Fig. 54C View Figure 54 ) (vs. beginning at the 6:00 o’clock position, without a spine in P. anatolica and P. lihengae ), by having the pimoid embolic process longer than the embolus, distally serrate and with scales (Fig. 54C View Figure 54 ) (vs. shorter than embolus, with a short, sharp branch in P. anatolica and shorter than embolus in P. lihengae ), and also distinguished from P. lihengae by the broad cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 54C View Figure 54 ) (vs. distally bent). The female of P. dongjiu sp. nov. resembles those of P. lihengae (see Griswold et al. 1999: 93, figs 18-21) and P. wanglangensis (see Yuan et al. 2019: 27, fig. 22A-H) but can be distinguished by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 10B View Figure 10 ) (vs. distally narrow in P. lihengae and P. wanglangensis ) and also from P. wanglangensis by the unseparated spermathecae (Fig. 10A View Figure 10 ) (vs. slightly separated).
