Type material.
Holotype: ♀ (IZCAS-Ar42001), China, Tibet, Shigatse, the 1220 km marker on the way of Yadong County to Kambu Township, 27.59°N, 88.91°E, ca. 3401 m, 11.X.2020, Z. Chen leg. Paratype: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar42002), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
Pimoa shigatse 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 distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 43B View Figure 43 ) (vs. distally pointed in P. nyingchi and distally narrow in P. reniformis ) and also from P. reniformis by the small separation of the spermathecae (Fig. 43A View Figure 43 ) (vs. unseparated).
