Type material.
Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41973), China, Sichuan, Li County, Miero Town, Siboguo Village, 31.67°N, 102.72°E, ca. 3029 m, 21.XI.2019, Z. Chen leg. Paratypes: 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar41974-Ar41976), China, Sichuan, Gakog County, Sajinse Town, on the way from Mt. Zhegu to Shuama Crossing, 31.93°N, 102.65°E, ca. 3458 m, 20.XI.2019, Z. Chen leg.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of Pimoa miero sp. nov. resembles those of P. jinchuan sp. nov. (Figs 19A, B View Figure 19 , 55C View Figure 55 ), P. trifurcata (see Xu and Li 2007: 496, figs 48-54), and P. yele sp. nov. (Figs 49A, B View Figure 49 , 58A View Figure 58 ) but can be distinguished by the short and broad cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 56B View Figure 56 ) (vs. narrow and longer in P. jinchuan sp. nov. and P. trifurcata and distally pointed in P. yele sp. nov.), and it can also be distinguished from P. jinchuan sp. nov. by a slender spine proximally on the embolus (Fig. 56B View Figure 56 ) (vs. without a spine), from P. trifurcata by the distally bifurcate apex of the pimoid embolic process (Fig. 56B View Figure 56 ) (vs. trifurcate apex), and from P. yele sp. nov. by the embolus beginning at the 5:00 o’clock position (Fig. 56B View Figure 56 ) (vs. 7:00). The female of P. miero sp. nov. can be distinguished from other congeners except for P. danba sp. nov. (Fig. 7A-D View Figure 7 ) by the length of dorsal plate significantly longer than width (Fig. 29A, B View Figure 29 ) (vs. length subequal to width), and from P. danba sp. nov. by the posterior part of epigyne with two tips (Fig. 29A View Figure 29 ) (vs. without tip).
