Pimoa nainital Zhang & Li View in CoL , sp. nov. ( Figs 26A–C View Figure 26 , 27A–G View Figure 27 )

Diagnosis. The male of P. nainital Zhang & Li , sp. nov. resembles P. mainling Zhang & Li, 2020 (see Zhang et al., 2020: 89, fig. 6) and P. thaleri Trotta, 2009 (see Trotta, 2009: 1404, figs 1–2) but can be distinguished from P. mainling by the narrower cymbium ( vs. significantly wide in P. mainling ), and from P. thaleri by the small PCS ( vs. large in P. thaleri ) and by having the PEP longer than the embolus ( vs. subequal to embolus in P. thaleri ). The females of P. nainital Zhang & Li , sp. nov. resemble P. crispa (Fage, 1946) (see Hormiga, 1994: 63, figs 239–247) and P. sinuosa Hormiga, 1994 (see Hormiga, 1994: 67, figs 266–284) but can be distinguished by the S touching each other ( vs. separated by a short distance in P. crispa and separated by ca. 1/3 width in P. sinuosa ).
