Paratypes: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar40317), same data as holotype; 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar40318), Lhoka, Aza Town, Beside the stream behind Zonggongbu Cave, 29.37°N, 91.32°E, elevation ca. 4537 m, 29.VIII.2018, X. Zhang and J. Liu leg.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of Pimoa duiba sp. nov. resembles P. samyai sp. nov. (Fig. 12A-C View Figure 12 ) and P. trifurcata (see Xu and Li 2007: 496, figs 48-54) but can be distinguished by the short and distally blunt cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 , vs. relatively long and distally narrow in P. samyai and P. trifurcata ); distinguished from P. samyai by the nearly V-shaped pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 , vs. nearly L-shaped); distinguished from P. trifurcata by the pimoid embolic process without a trifurcate apex (Fig. 3A-C View Figure 3 , vs. with a trifurcate apex). The female of P. duiba also resembles P. samyai sp. nov. (Fig. 13A-D View Figure 13 ) and P. trifurcata (see Xu and Li 2007: 496, figs 55-61) but can be distinguished by the short distance between the spermathecae (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 , vs. separated by ca. 1/2 the width of a spermatheca in P. samyai and P. trifurcata ); distinguished from P. samyai by having a spermatheca that is wider than long (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 , vs. longer than wide); distinguished from P. trifurcata by the medially narrow dorsal plate (Fig. 4C View Figure 4 , vs. medially relatively wide).
