Type material.
Holotype: ♀ (IZCAS-Ar41995), Nepal, Karnali District, Rara National Park, 29.52°N, 82.08°E, ca. 2974 m, 13.IV.2019, C. Shrestha leg. Paratype: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar41996), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
Pimoa rara sp. nov. resembles those of P. crispa (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 239-247) and P. samyai (see Zhang et al. 2020: 97, fig. 13A-D) but can be distinguished from P. crispa by the ventral plate width ca. 1/2 length (Fig. 40A View Figure 40 ) (vs. width subequal to length), from P. samyai by the bean-shaped spermathecae separated by a short distance (Fig. 40A View Figure 40 ) (vs. nearly oval, separated by ca. 1/2 width of a spermatheca), and by the distally pointed dorsal plate (Fig. 40B View Figure 40 ) (vs. distally blunt).
Description.
Female (holotype): Total length 9.74. Carapace 4.90 long, 3.78 wide. Abdomen 4.84 long, 4.38 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.16, ALE 0.15, PME 0.17, PLE 0.16; AME-AME 0.14, AME-ALE 0.15, PME-PME 0.13, PME-PLE 0.18. Leg measurements: I: 16.96 (4.66, 6.08, 4.22, 2.00); II: 14.46 (4.24, 4.78, 3.63, 1.81); III: - (3.94, -, -, -); IV: - (-, -, -, -). Habitus as in Fig. 40E-G View Figure 40 . Carapace yellowish with black lateral margins; thoracic fovea and radial grooves distinct; sternum brownish. Abdomen black with yellowish transverse bands. Legs brownish with black annulations. Epigyne (Fig. 40A-D View Figure 40 ): triangular; ventral plate broad, length subequal to width; dorsal plate narrow, width ca. 1/2 length; copulatory openings distinct; spermathecae oval, close together; fertilization ducts hyaline, laterally oriented.
