Figures 1 , 2 , 54 , 59 Type material. Holotype : ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41921), China, Sichuan, Jinchuan County, Anning Township, Dujiaogou Valley, Mt. Gada, 31.26°N , 101.97°E , ca. 3048 m, 24.XI.2019, Z. Chen leg. Paratypes : 1♂2♀ (IZCAS-Ar41922-Ar41924), same data as holotype. Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. Diagnosis. The male of Pimoa anning sp. nov. resembles those of P. lata Xu & Li, 2009 (see Zhang and Li 2019 : 6, fig. 3A-C) and P. yele sp. nov. (Figs 49A, B , 58A ) but can be distinguished by the pimoid embolic process that is wider distally than the rest of the process (Fig. 54A ) (vs. pimoid embolic process with two jagged tips in P. lata , and a broad and robust embolic process, with a distally bifurcate, scaled apex in P. yele sp. nov.). Additionally, P. anning sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. lata by the embolus, which has a short, slender spine proximally (Figs 1A , 54A ) (vs. without a spine), and distinguished from P. yele sp. nov. by the embolus beginning at the 5:00 o'clock position (Fig. 54A ) (vs. 8:00). The female of P. anning sp. nov. also resembles those of P. lata (see Xu and Li 2009 : 57, figs 1-8; Zhang and Li 2019 : 6, fig. 4A, B) and P. yele sp. nov. (Fig. 50A-D ) but can be distinguished from P. lata by having the dorsal plate shorter than the ventral plate (Fig. 2B ) (vs. dorsal plate longer than the ventral plate) and by the unseparated spermathecae (Fig. 2A-D ) (vs. spermathecae separated), and can be distinguished from P. yele sp. nov. by the dorsal plate being blunt distally (Fig. 2A-D ) (vs. pointed distally).

Female ( paratype ) : Total length 5.97. Carapace 2.56 long, 2.34 wide. Abdomen 3.41 long, 2.88 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.16, ALE 0.18, PME 0.14, PLE 0.17; AME-AME 0.06, AME-ALE 0.14, PME-PME 0.11, PME-PLE 0.17. Leg measurements: I: 21.42 (6.01, 7.29, 5.84, 2.28); II: 18.46 (5.16, 6.26, 5.13, 1.91); III: 13.19 (3.81, 4.25, 3.66, 1.47); IV: 17.29 (5.28, 5.66, 4.66, 1.69). Habitus as in Fig. 2F, G . Carapace yellowish with black lateral margins; thoracic fovea and radial grooves distinct; sternum yellow. Abdomen black with yellowish transverse bands. Legs brownish without annulations. Epigyne (Fig. 2A-D ): tongue-shaped; ventral plate broad, width ca. 1/2 of length; dorsal plate triangular; copulatory openings distinct; spermathecae nearly rectangular, close to each other; fertilization ducts yellow, laterally oriented. Distribution. Known only from the type locality, Sichuan, China (Fig. 59 ).
