Figures 17 , 153–176 ; map 2

TYPES: Male holotype and female paratype from Parque da Cidade Joventino Silva, 12 ° 599570S 38 ° 289160W, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil (Aug. 22–Sept. 03, 2008; C. Queiróz and D. Mendes) deposited in IBSP 125541 ( PBI _OON 11097) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name refers to the character Blain Cooper, played by Jesse Ventura, in the movie ‘‘Predator’’; he often chews tobacco and wears a battered old slouch hat.

DIAGNOSIS: Males of Predatoroonops blain differ from those of the remaining species by the chelicerae with large, triangular subdistal furrow (figs. 17, 156), short lateral subdistal apophysis short and truncated; short, bifid distal projections (fig. 17). Females can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species by the very long anterior receptaculum with globose tip, short with sinuous posterior receptaculum (figs. 174– 176).

MALE (PBI_OON 10997): Total length 1.99. Carapace 0.90 long, 0.60 wide. ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.06. Carapace orange, without any pattern, anterolateral corners with slightly sclerotized triangular projections (figs. 155, 158). Sternum yellow-brown. Chelicerae, endites, and labium orange-brown. Clypeus with very small needlelike setae (fig. 17). Chelicerae anterior face with small median furrow, subdistal narrow furrow large triangular, lateral subdistal apophysis short and truncated, short and bifid distal projections, condylar projection absent (fig. 17). Abdomen dorsum pale orange. Legs orange, femur I 0.80 long. Leg spination: femur I d1-0-0; v2- 2-1; II d1-0-0; v0-2-2; III d1-0-0; IV d1-0-1; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2-2, III p0-0-1; v0-1-2; r0-0-1; IV p0-1-1; v0-1-2; r0-1-1; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III v0-1- 2; r0-0-1; IV d0-1-0; p0-0-1; v1-0-2; r0-0-1. Male palp proximal segments orange-brown; cymbium pale orange, bulb yellow, slender hyaline process narrow and twisted with laminar hyaline process (figs. 161–163).

FEMALE (PBI_OON_0011097): Total length 2.35. Carapace 0.95 long, 0.75 wide. ALE 0.12, PLE 0.10, PME 0.12, ALE-ALE 0.06. Abdomen dorsum orange. Legs: femur I 0.80 long. Leg spination: femur I v2-2-1; II v0-2-2; III d1-0-0; IV d1-1-0; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II v2- 2-2-2-2, III p1-1-0; v0-2-2; r1-1-0; IV p1-1-0; v1-0-2; r1-1-0; metatarsus I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2- 2-2, III v0-1-1; r1-1-0; IV d0-1-0; p1-1-1; v1-0- 2; r1-1-1. Internal genitalia with very long anterior receptaculum with globose tip and short and sinuous posterior receptaculum (figs. 174–176); long and semicircular apodema plate with elongated and sinuous apodema process (figs. 175–176).
