Diagnosis.
Pimoa lhatog sp. nov. resembles those of P. crispa (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 239-247) and P. mainling (see Zhang et al. 2020: 89, fig. 7A-D) but can be distinguished from P. crispa by the funnel-shaped epigyne (Fig. 23A View Figure 23 ) (vs. triangular) and from P. mainling by the bean-shaped spermathecae (Fig. 23A View Figure 23 ) (vs. nearly oval).
