Type material.
Holotype
:
♀ (IZCAS-Ar41985), China, Yunnan, Lijiang, Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Lugu Lake, Nvshen Cave,
27.62°N
,
100.81°E
, ca. 3540 m, 5.VII.2010, Q. Zhao leg.
Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
Pimoa ninglang
sp. nov. resembles those of
P. clavata
(see
Xu and Li 2007
: 487, figs 30-34) and
P. gandhii
(see
Hormiga 1994a
: 60, figs 224-231) but can be distinguished from
P. clavata
by the narrow dorsal plate (Fig.
34B
) (vs. wider) and from
P. gandhii
by the trapezoidal ventral plate (Fig.
34A
) (vs. triangular) and the fusiform dorsal plate (Fig.
34B
) (vs. tongue-shaped).
