TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Condomínio Trensurb, 23 ° 339S, 46 ° 559600W, Itapevi, São Paulo, Brazil (Nov. 01, 2000, V. Onofrio and D.M. Battesti) deposited in IBSP 124233 (PBI_OON 11206).

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of the late Kevin Peter Hall (1955–1991), who played the Predator creature in the movie.

DIAGNOSIS: Males of Predatoroonops peterhalli differ from those of the remaining species by the subdistal apophysis long and slender, with flattened and sulcated apex on the chelicerae (fig. 26). Females can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species by the epigynum with globose posterior receptaculum, apodema plate coiled at base, with a short anterior projection (figs. 395–396).

MALE (PBI_OON_0011206): Total length 1.80. Carapace 0.80 long, 0.55 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.06. Carapace pale orange, with brown stripe along the margin of pars cephalica, anterolateral corners with slightly sclerotized triangular projections (figs. 371–372). Sternum, chelicerae, endites, and labium yellow. Clypeus with very small needlelike setae (fig. 26). Chelicerae anterior face without median and subdistal furrow, subdistal apophysis long, slender, and sinuous, distal apophysis short; condylar projection absent (fig. 26). Abdomen dorsum white. Legs yellow, femur I 0.65 long. Leg spination: femur: I–II v1-2-2; 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; v0-1-2; r0-0-1, IV d0-1-0; v0-1- 2; r0-1-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III d0-0-1; v1-0-2; r1-1-0, IV d0-0-1; p0-1-0; v0-1-2; r1-1-0. Male palp proximal segments yellow; cymbium and bulb yellow, with distal area elongated, with laminar hyaline process and slender hyaline process short, twisted (figs. 364–365, 376–378).

FEMALE (PBI_OON_0011206): Total length 2.10. Carapace 0.85 long, 0.70 wide. ALE 0.12, PLE 0.12, PME 0.14, ALE.ALE 0.06. Carapace without any pattern. Abdomen dorsum pale white. Legs yellow, femur I 0.70. Leg spination: femur: I, II v1-2-2; III d0-1-1; IV d1-0-1; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2- 2-2-2, III d0-1-0; p0-1-1; v0-0-2; r0-1-1, IV d0-1-0; p0-1-1; v0-1-2; r0-0-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v0-1-2; r0-1-1, IV d0-1-1; p0-1-1; v0-1-2; r0-1-1.
