Type material.
Holotype: ♀ (IZCAS-Ar41977), Nepal, Baghmati District, Mude, Rhododendron, along the way F032, 27.69°N, 85.94°E, ca. 2653 m, 23.III.2019, C. Shrestha leg. Paratype: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar41978), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
Pimoa mude sp. nov. resembles those of P. daman sp. nov. (Fig. 6A-D View Figure 6 ) and P. zhigangi sp. nov. (Fig. 53A-D View Figure 53 ) but can be distinguished from the nearly oval spermathecae separated by a short distance (Fig. 30A View Figure 30 ) (vs. triangular, unseparated in P. daman sp. nov. and nearly round, separated by ca. 1/2 width of a spermatheca in P. zhigangi sp. nov.) and also distinguished from P. daman sp. nov. by the narrow ventral plate (Fig. 30A View Figure 30 ) (vs. wider), from P. zhigangi sp. nov. by the distally narrow ventral plate (Fig. 30A View Figure 30 ) (vs. broad), and by the distally blunt dorsal plate (Fig. 30B View Figure 30 ) (vs. pointed).

Female (holotype): Total length 6.25. Carapace 3.06 long, 2.66 wide. Abdomen 3.19 long, 2.63 wide.
