Pimoa rongxar Zhang & Li, sp. nov. Figures 10 View Figure 10 , 11 View Figure 11 , 16 View Figure 16
Type material.
Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS-Ar40331), China, Tibet, Shigatse, Dinggyê County, Rongxar Town, Woods by the river, 28.07°N, 86.37°E, elevation ca. 3520 m, 29.VII.2018, X. Zhang and J. Liu leg. Paratype: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar40332), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of Pimoa rongxar sp. nov. resembles P. reniformis (see Xu and Li 2007: 493, figs 36-41) and P. thaleri Trotta, 2009 (see Trotta 2009: 1404, fig. 1) but can be distinguished by the large, long and subdistally wide pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 10B View Figure 10 , vs. small and narrow in P. reniformis ; vs. short and medially wide in P. thaleri ); distinguished from P. reniformis by the long palpal tibia, ca. 1/2 of the cymbial length (Fig. 10A-C View Figure 10 , vs. palpal tibia short, ca. 1/3 of the cymbial length); distinguished from P. thaleri by the pimoid embolic process which is longer than the embolus (Fig. 10B View Figure 10 , vs. a pimoid embolic process that is almost the same length as the embolus). The female of P. rongxar resembles P. indiscreta Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga 1994a: 66, figs 248-255) but can be distinguished by a pair of nearly round spermathecae (Fig. 11A View Figure 11 , vs. nearly oval) and by the laterally oriented pair of fertilization ducts (Fig. 11A-D View Figure 11 , vs. medially oriented fertilization ducts).

Habitus as in Fig. 11E View Figure 11 . Carapace brownish with black lateral margins; thoracic fovea and radial grooves distinct; sternum brownish. Abdomen dark gray. Legs brownish with distinct black annulations on all legs. Palp (Fig. 10A-C View Figure 10 ): patella short, ca. 1/2 of tibial length, with a single retrolateral macroseta; tibia long, ca. 1/2 of cymbial length, with several macrosetae and a dorsal process; paracymbium short, ca. 1/3 of cymbial length; pimoid cymbial sclerite large, long and subdistally wide, slightly shorter than cymbial length; cymbial denticulate process short, distally narrow, with more than ten cuspules; median apophysis slender; conductor distinct; pimoid embolic process longer than embolus, abruptly narrowing; embolus beginning at the 5:30 o’clock position; embolic tooth absent.
Female (paratype): Total length 7.63. Carapace 3.78 long, 2.95 wide. Abdomen 3.85 long, 2.63 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.17, ALE 0.20, PME 0.18, PLE 0.17; AME-AME 0.13, AME-ALE 0.17, PME-PME 0.18, PME-PLE 0.21. Leg measurements: I: 24.29 (6.67, 8.14, 6.60, 2.88); II: 22.50 (6.35, 7.44, 6.15, 2.56); III: 17.38 (5.19, 5.58, 4.62, 1.99); IV: 20.77 (6.15, 6.86, 5.58, 2.18). Habitus as in Fig. 11F, G View Figure 11 . Carapace yellowish with black lateral margins; thoracic fovea and radial grooves distinct; sternum brownish. Abdomen yellowish with black marks. Legs yellowish with distinct black annulations on all legs. Epigyne (Fig. 11A-D View Figure 11 ): triangular; ventral plate broad, length subequal to width; dorsal plate narrow, longer than wide; copulatory openings distinct; spermathecae nearly round, separated by ca. 1/4 width of spermatheca; fertilization ducts yellowish, laterally oriented.
