E01F2203DA770746FEB91B6B830FFB19.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Male pimoids are distinguished form other araneoid spiders by the following combination of characters: palpus with integral paracymbium (intersegmental in Weintrauboa), a retrolateral cymbial sclerite, a dorsoectal cymbial process, and cuspules (modified macrosetae) on either the cymbial process (Pimoa; Hormiga, 1994 a: figs 11 and 68; Nanoa, Fig. 1 A – B, D) or the dorsal surface of the cymbium (Weintrauboa; Hormiga, 2003: figs 1 e, 5 e). Conductor and median apophysis present in most species. Embolus continuous with the tegulum (the typical linyphiid embolic division is absent), with an embolic process of varying morphology (absent in Nanoa). The epigynum is protruding (except in Nanoa), with a dorsal to lateral fold or groove with the copulatory opening at the distal end (Hormiga, 1994 a: figs 14, 414; Figs 3 C, 5 A); fertilization ducts are anteriorly (Pimoa), posteriorly (Nanoa) or mesally (Weintrauboa) orientated. As in linyphiids, pimoids have stridulatory striae on the ectal side of the chelicerae (but the striae are absent in Weintrauboa and Nanoa), build sheet-webs and exhibit autospasy at the patellatibia junction. Description: See Hormiga (1994 a) for family description. Phylogenetics: The monophyly of Pimoidae is supported by the following four unambiguous putative synapomorphies: a dorsoectal cymbial process; cymbial cuspules (modified macrosetae); a retrolateral cymbial sclerite (pimoid cymbial sclerite, PCS); and the embolic process (pimoid embolic process, PEP, lost in Nanoa). Composition: Three genera, Pimoa Chamberlin & Ivie, Weintrauboa Hormiga and Nanoa gen. nov.	en	Hormiga, Gustavo, Buckle, Donald J., Scharff, Nikolaj (2005): Nanoa, an enigmatic new genus of pimoid spiders from western North America (Pimoidae, Araneae).

E01F2203DA770740FB9219EB84B9F9C0.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Nanoa enana. Etymology: Derived from the Greek word nanos (dwarf), in reference to their small body size. The ending - oa follows that of Pimoa. Chamberlin & Ivie (1943) first used this ending for linyphioids with Pimoa. Although Chamberlin did not disclose the etymology of Pimoa, Prof. H. Don Cameron (University of Michigan) has deciphered its origin. Pimoa is a name derived from the language of the Gosiute people from Utah, and means ‘ big legs. ’ Nanoa matches the ending of the other two pimoid genera (Pimoa and Weintrauboa) and is feminine in gender. Diagnosis: Nanoa differs from other pimoid genera by the following combination of characters: metatarsus – tarsus joint with a distinct constriction; male palpal tibia with dorsal process; dorsoectal cymbial process with a large and thick bent macroseta; alveolar sclerite on the ventral side of the cymbium, seen as a sclerotized spot on the ectal margin of the alveolus; pimoid embolic process absent (Figs 1 A – D, 2 A – B); cheliceral stridulatory striae absent; fourth coxae of male with two strong macrosetae, facing relatively large striated booklung covers (Fig. 3 A); epigynum with a ventral scape-like septum and fertilization ducts posteriorly orientated (Fig. 3 C – E). PMS and PLS without aciniform spigots; PMS minor ampullate spigot absent (Fig. 5 D – E). Description: Since the genus is monotypic, the description is given under Nanoa enana. Phylogenetics: Nanoa is sister to Pimoa. In the present cladistic analysis the terminal branch leading to Nanoa is the longest one in the cladogram (Fig. 7) as a consequence of the highly modified morphology of this genus (despite the fact that many autapomorphic features were not coded in the matrix). Natural history: Unknown.
