The spider genus Nanoa gen. nov. (Araneae, Pimoidae) is described to place Nanoa enana , a new species of pimoids from Western North America. Parsimony analysis of morphological characters provides support for the monophyly of Pimoa plus Nanoa and corroborates the monophyly of Pimoidae and of the clade Linyphiidae plus Pimoidae. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2005, 145 , 249–262.
