Figures 28, 399–400, 434–452; map 3
TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Reserva Florestal da Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, 19 ° 069S–19 ° 189S, 39 ° 459W– 40 ° 199W, Linhares, Espírito Santo, Brazil (Jun. 1997, J. Raizer), deposited in IBSP 14877 (PBI_OON 10985) and IBSP 14858 (PBI_OON 10987), respectively.
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a second nickname for the character Jorge ‘‘Poncho’’ Ramirez, played by Richard Chaves in the movie ‘‘Predator’’; Poncho is a Mexican-American who initially serves a translator for Anna.
DIAGNOSIS: Males of Predatoroonops chicano differ from those of the remaining species by the very large and quadrate projection in the middle face of the chelicerae (fig. 28). Females can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species by the peanut-shaped anterior and posterior receptacula, apodema process sinuous, pointed anteriorly (figs. 399–400, 452).
MALE (PBI_OON 10985): Total length 1.05. Carapace 0.82 long, 0.65 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.08, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.08. Carapace pale orange, with brown stripe
along margin of cephalic area, anterolateral corners with sclerotized triangular projections (figs. 437–438). Chelicerae brown. Sternum, endites, and labium yellow.

v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v0-1-2; r0-0-1; IV d0-1- 1; p1-1-0; v0-1-1; r1-1-0. Internal genitalia peanut shaped, with fused anterior and posterior receptacula; apodema plate semicircular, slender with apodema process long, sinuous, pointed anteriorly (figs. 399–400, 452).
