Figures 14 , 66–67 , 72–102 ; map 4 TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos, 22 ° 279S, 42 ° 599W, Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Jul. 18–22, 2001, Equipe Biota) deposited in IBSP 135880 (PBI_OON 11182). ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a nickname for Jorge ‘‘Poncho’’ Ramirez, played by Richard Chaves in the movie ‘‘Predator’’; Poncho is a Chicano who speaks fluent Spanish and shows a sarcastic wit.

DIAGNOSIS: Males of Predatoroonops poncho resemble those of P. schwarzeneggeri , P. billy , and P. valverde by the presence of a curved distal apophysis in the chelicerae (figs. 13, 15–16). It can be distinguished from these species by the shorter distal apophysis and very large subdistal furrow (fig. 14). Females can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species of the genus by the short distal cylindrical area of the anterior receptaculum and Z-shaped apodema plate with apodema process in the female epigynum (fig. 66).

MALE (PBI_OON_11182): Total length 2.05. Carapace 0.95 long, 0.77 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.13, ALE-ALE 0.08. Carapace pale orange, without any pattern, anterolateral corners with sclerotized triangular projection (fig. 80). Sternum pale orange. Chelicerae brown, endites, and labium yellow. Clypeus with very small needlelike setae (fig. 14). Chelicerae anterior face with small triangular median furrow, elongated subdistal furrow, stout lateral subdistal apophysis, short distal, dorsally curved apophysis, condylar projection absent (fig. 14). Abdomen dorsum pale white. Legs yellow, femur I 0.85 long. Leg spination: femur I v1-2-2; II d1-0-0; v0-2-2; III–IV d1-0-1; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2-2, III d0-1-0; p1-1-0; v0-1-0; IV d0-1-0; p0-1-1; v0- 1-2; r0-1-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2- 2, III d0-0-1; v0-0-2; r1-1-0; IV d0-1-1; p0-1- 1; v0-1-2; r0-1-1. Male palp proximal segments pale orange; cymbium yellow, bulb white with truncate base (figs. 86, 89); slender hyaline process with large base (fig. 86).

FEMALE (PBI_OON_11182): Total length 2.35. Carapace 0.90 long, 0.75 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.08. Abdomen dorsum white. Legs: femur I 0.73 long. Internal genitalia, when connected, with hat-shaped anterior receptaculum (figs. 66, 102) and globose posterior receptaculum (figs. 66–67), when separated, presents a conical tip (figs. 100–101); Z-shaped apodema plate with short apodema process (figs. 66–67, 100–101).
