Brazil
(
Jun. 11–18, 2001
, Equipe Biota), deposited in IBSP 136097 (PBI_OON 11174).
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a nickname for Billy Sole, played by Sonny Landham. In ’’Predator,’’ Billy is a Native American tracker.
DIAGNOSIS: Males de
Predatoroonops billy
resemble those of
P. schwarzeneggeri
and
P. valverde
by the presence of long, distal dorsally curved apophysis in the chelicerae (figs. 13, 16) but can be separated from them by the larger subdistal apophysis, subdistal furrow (fig. 15). Females can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species of the genus by the subtriangular, wrinkled anterior receptaculum, distally rounded posterior receptaculum, apodema process enlarged at the extremities (fig. 68).
