Leleup ) ( MRAC 113.586 ) . ETYMOLOGY: The species is named terminator because the male RTA, observed from the ventral side, looks like a futuristic gun. DIAGNOSIS: Males of H. terminator are recognized by the complex RTA with flat, translucent frontal part and short, sharp, upwardcurved tip on inferior prong; the MA lacks a median flap. MALE: Measurements. Total length 2.54; carapace 1.16 long, 0.89 wide; length of fe: I 0.95, II?, III 0.81, IV 1.24. Leg spination. Fe: I rv 2; IV plt 1 rlt 1; ti: I, II vsp 6; mt: III plt 1 vt 1 rlt 1; IV plt 1 vt 2 rlt 1. Coloration. Carapace yellow ochre, with darker, radiating striae and a brown line at the fovea. Tibia with large, flat, translucent RTA composed of two parts, both standing out; frontal and superior one long, with bifid tip, one tip pointing forward, the other one downward; posterior and inferior part with short, sharp tip, curved upward; cymbium with large, retrolateral bend with series of widely spaced long setae in distal half; tegulum with retrolateral swelling at base of embolus; sperm duct with wide basal part and thin distal part with sharp, deep turn; MA solid, gradually tapered from thick basal to tip, distal part curved down; embolus with fairly broad, triangular base, long, whiplike, looped over more than 540° (fig. 27h, i).
