(
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).
