Figures 11–12, 15, 68–69, 103–125; map 1
TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Floresta da Cicuta, 22 ° 249–22 ° 389S, 44 ° 099–44 ° 209W, Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, 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).
MALE (PBI_OON_11174): Total length 1.75. Carapace 0.87 long, 0.70 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.08. Carapace yellow, with brown stripe along margin of cephalic area, anterolateral corners with slightly sclerotized triangular projections (fig. 106). Sternum yellow. Chelicerae, endites, and labium orange. Clypeus with very small needlelike setae (fig. 15). Chelicerae anterior face with short triangular median furrow, elongated subdistal furrow, stout, sclerotized lateral subdistal apophysis, long, distally upcurved apophysis; condylar projection absent (fig. 15). Abdomen dorsum pale orange. Legs yellow, femur I 0.75 long. Leg spination: femur: I v1-2-2; II v0-2-2; III– IV d1-0-1; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2-2, III d0-1-0; p0-1-0; v0-1-2; r0-1-1; IV d0-1-0; p0- 1-1; v0-1-2; r0-1-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v0-1-2; r0-1-1; IV p0-1-1; v0-1-2; r0-1-1. Male palp proximal segments yellow; cymbium yellow; bulb white, long laminar hyaline process (figs. 109, 111).
FEMALE (PBI_OON_11174): Total length 2.08. Carapace 0.90 long, 0.75 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.08. Chelicerae, endites, and labium pale orange. Abdomen dorsum orange. Leg: femur I 0.73. Leg spination: femur I v1-2-2; II v0-2-2; III– IV d1-0-1; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2-2, III d0-1-0; p0-1-1; v0-0-1; r0-1-1; IV d0-1-0; p0-1- 1; v0-1-2; r0-1-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2- 2-2-2, III v0-1-1; r0-1-1, IV p0-1-1; v0-1-2; r0- 1-1. Internal genitalia with short; triangular anterior receptaculum and short and rounded posterior receptaculum (figs. 68–69, 122– 123); apodema plate curved, narrowed distally, with elongated apodema process, enlarged at extremities (figs. 68, 122–125).
