TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Restinga da Marambaia (23 ° 029S– 23 ° 069S, 43 ° 459W–43 ° 549W), Rio de Janeiro, Rio de

Janeiro, Brazil, pitfall (2005–2007, E.F. Ramos), deposited in IBSP 90504 (PBI_OON 10923) and IBSP 90505 (PBI_OON 10924), respectively.

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name refers to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, one of the filming locations for the movie ‘‘Predator’’; the set there is now a tourist attraction.

DIAGNOSIS: Males of Predatoroonops vallarta differ from those of the remaining species by the elongated subdistal furrow, the subdistal apophysis with a large base and a long and slender tip (fig. 23). Females can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species by the small, drop-shaped posterior receptaculum and semicircular, flattened apodema plate (figs. 280–281, 330–331).

MALE (PBI_OON00010923): Total length 1.90. Carapace 0.80 long, 0.65 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.06. Carapace pale orange, without any pattern, anterolateral corners with slightly sclerotized triangular projections (fig. 315). Sternum yellow. Chelicerae, endites, and labium pale orange. Clypeus with very small needlelike setae smooth (fig. 23). Chelicerae anterior face without median furrow, subdistal furrow short, long subdistal apophysis with large base, distal apophysis short, condylar projection absent (fig. 23). Abdomen dorsum white. Legs pale orange, femur I 0.65. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-3; r0-1-1, II d1-0-0; p0-0-2; r0-1-1, III d0-1-0, IV d1-0-1, tibia I v 2-2-2-2-2, II v 2-2-2-2-2, III p1-1-0; IV p1-1-0; r1-1-0; metatarsi I–II p0-0-1; v2-2-2, III r0-0- 1, IV p1-1-0; r1-1-0. Male palp proximal segments yellow; cymbium yellow, bulb white, truncated dorsally, with narrow hyaline process (figs. 318–320).

FEMALE (PBI_OON00010924): Total length 2.20. Carapace 0.80 long, 0.65 wide. ALE 0.08, PLE 0.08, PME 0.10, ALE-ALE 0.06. Abdomen dorsum orange. Legs orange, femur I 0.70. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-3; r0-1-1; II p0-0-2; v0-1-0; IV d0-1-1; tibia I v 2-2-2-2-2, II v 2-2-2-2, III d0-1-0; IV d0-1-0; v0-1-1; r1-0-0, metatarsus I p0-0-1; v2-2-2; II v2-2-2; IV d0-0-1; p0-0-1; v0-0-1. Internal genitalia with elongated, receptaculum folded anteriorly with globose tip; posterior receptaculum small, drop shaped; apodema plate semicircular, flattened, and with long and sinuous apodema process (figs. 280–281, 330–331).
