TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Parque Estadual de Ilhabela (23 ° 509530S 45 ° 209540W), Ilhabela, São Paulo, Brazil (Oct. 9–15, 2001, Equipe Biota), deposited in IBSP 57385 and 57382 (PBI_OON 10995– 10996), respectively.

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name refers to the character Mac Eliot, played by Bill Duke in the movie ‘‘Predator’’; Mac is a close friend of Blain’s and served with him in Vietnam.

DIAGNOSIS: Males of Predatoroonops maceliot resemble those of P. blain by the small median furrow and by the triangular subdistal furrow. It differs from this species by the much smaller subdistal furrow, subdistal and distal apophysis with distal area truncated apically (fig. 18), without bifid apophysis. Females can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species by the cordiform posterior receptaculum with a short distal projection, apodema plate with twisted tip (figs. 177–178).

MALE (PBI_OON 10995): Total length 1.70. Carapace 0.85 long, 0.60 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 slightly sclerotized triangular projections (figs. 186, 189). Sternum yellow. Chelicerae, endites, and labium pale orange. Clypeus with very small needlelike setae (fig. 18). Chelicerae anterior face with short triangular median furrow, subdistal narrow furrow inconspicuous and triangular, subdistal and distal apophysis absent, distal area truncated, subtriangular condylar projection present (fig. 18). Abdomen dorsum white. Legs yellow, femur I 0.70 long. Leg spination: femora: I–II v2-2-1; III–IV d1-0- 0; tibiae I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2-2, III d0-1-0; p0-0-1; v0-2-2; r0-0-1; IV d0-1-0; p1-1-0; v0-1-2; r1-1-0; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v0-2-2; IV p0-0-1; v0-1-2; r0-0-1. Male palp proximal segments yellow; cymbium yellow; bulb white, slender hyaline process with conspicuous base (fig. 192).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 10996): Total length 2.08. Carapace 0.75 long, 0.55 wide. ALE 0.08, PLE 0.08, PME 0.10, ALE-ALE 0.06. Abdomen dorsum white. Legs: femur I 0.62 long. Leg spination: femora: I p0-1-1; v0-0-1; II p0-1-1; v2-2-1; III d1-1-0; IV d1-0-1; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2-2, III d0-0-1; p0-1-1; v0-1-1; r0-0-1; IV d0-1-0; p0-1-1; v1-1-2; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v2-0- 1; r1-1-0; IV p0-1-1; v1-1-2; r0-0-1. Internal genitalia with compact anterior receptaculum and cordiform posterior receptaculum with a short distal projection; long and sinuous apodema plate with twisted tip and short and curved apodema process (figs. 177–178).
