Type material.
Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar42012), China, Sichuan, Liangshan, Mianning County, Yele Town, the abandoned mine opposite the Yichang Family, 28.93°N, 102.23°E, ca. 2471 m, 13.III.2019, Z. Chen leg. Paratypes: 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar42013-Ar42015), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of Pimoa yele sp. nov. resembles those of P. jinchuan sp. nov. (Figs 19A, B View Figure 19 , 55C View Figure 55 ), P. lata (see Zhang and Li 2019: 6, fig. 3A-C), and P. trifurcata (see Xu and Li 2007: 496, figs 48-54) but can be distinguished from P. jinchuan sp. nov. and P. lata by the embolus with a short, slender spine proximally (Fig. 58A View Figure 58 ) (vs. without a spine) and the short and distally narrow cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 58A View Figure 58 ) (vs. broad) and distinguished from P. trifurcata by the distally bifurcate apex of the pimoid embolic process (Fig. 1B View Figure 1 ) (vs. trifurcate apex). The female of P. yele sp. nov. resembles those of P. crispa (see Hormiga 1994a: 63, figs 239-247) and P. jinchuan sp. nov. (Fig. 20A-D View Figure 20 ) but can be distinguished by the bullet-shaped ventral plate (Fig. 50A View Figure 50 ) (vs. triangular in P. crispa and tongue shaped and distally curved in P. jinchuan sp. nov.) and also from P. crispa by the unseparated spermathecae (Fig. 50A View Figure 50 ) (vs. with small separation).
