Figures 41 , 42 , 57 , 59 Type material. Holotype : ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41997), China, Tibet, Lhoka, along provincial highway 306 from Gyaca County to Sangri County, 29.05°N , 92.39°E , ca. 4329 m, 27.VIII.2018, X. Zhang, Z. Bai and J. Liu leg. Paratypes : 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar41998-Ar42000), same data as holotype. Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. Diagnosis. The male of Pimoa sangri sp. nov. resembles those of P. gandhii (see Hormiga 1994a : 60, figs 218-223) and P. nyingchi (see Zhang et al. 2020 : 91, fig. 8A-C) but can be distinguished from P. gandhii by the V-shaped pimoid cymbial sclerite (Fig. 57B ) (vs. L-shaped), by having the pimoid embolic process shorter than the embolus (Figs 41A , 57B ) (vs. longer), and distinguished from P. nyingchi by the embolus beginning at the 4:30 o'clock position (Fig. 57B ) (vs. 3:00), and the narrow cymbial denticulate process (Fig. 57B ) (vs. broad). The female of P. sangri sp. nov. also resembles P. gandhii (see Hormiga 1994a : 60, figs 224-231) but can be distinguished by the wide proximal fertilization ducts (Fig. 42A ) (vs. narrow) and by the rectangular spermathecae, divided into two parts (Fig. 42A ) (vs. oval).
