ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a popular name used by natives of the fictional nation of Val Verde for the Predators; during the hot summers these creatures attack people, who are later found skinned and hollowed.
DIAGNOSIS: Males of
Predatoroonops olddemon
differ from those of the remaining species by the simple, dorsally curved subdistal apophysis, curved, longer and slender distal apophysis in the chelicerae (fig. 29). Females can be easily distinguished from those of the other species by the epigynum with distal process mushroom shaped, with massive, rectangular posterior receptaculum (figs. 401–402).
MALE (PBI_OON_11036): Total length 1.70. Carapace 0.75 long, 0.55 wide. ALE 0.08, PLE 0.08, PME 0.10, ALE-ALE 0.06. Carapace yellow, without any pattern, anterolateral corners without extension or projections (figs. 454–455, 457). Sternum, chelicerae, endites, and labium yellow. Clypeus with distinct needlelike setae (fig. 29). Chelicerae anterior face without median and subdistal furrow, with upward-curving subdistal apophysis, distal apophysis curved, longer and slender, condylar projection absent (fig. 29). Abdomen dorsum white. Legs yellow, femur I 0.60. Leg spination: femora I–II d1-1-0; v0-2-2; III–IV d1-1-0; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2-2, III p1-1-0; v1-0-1; r1-1-0; IV p1-0-0; v1-0-0; r1-1-0; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v0-0- 1; r0-0-1; IV p0-1-1; v0-0-2; r0-0-1. Male palp proximal segments white; cymbium yellow; bulb white, with distal area elongated, laminar with slender hyaline process narrow and short (figs. 460–463).
FEMALE (PBI_OON_11034): Total length 1.90. Carapace 0.80 long, 0.70 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.08. Abdomen dorsum pale white. Legs: femur I 0.71. Leg spination: femora I–II v0-2-2; III d1-0-1; IV d1-0-0; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2- 2-2-2, III d0-1-0; p1-0-0; v0-1-2; r1-0-0, IV d0-1-0; p1-1-0; v0-1-0; r1-1-0; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v0-1-1; r1-1-1, IV p1-1-0; v0-1-2; r1-1-0. Internal genitalia with flattened anterior receptaculum with distal process mushroom like and massive rectangular posterior receptaculum; apodema plate with flattened, curved tip and long and curved medially disposed apodema process (figs. 401–402).
