Type material. Male holotype from Parque Nacional da Serra do Gandarela (-20.09975, -43.69151), Conceição do Rio Acima, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 10.XII.2017, Polotow, Labarque & Arizala coll., deposited in IBSP 256079 GoogleMaps .

Etymology. The specific name honors Stanley “Stan” Winston, responsible for the visual effects in the movie “Predator” of 1987, a category in which the movie was nominated for an Oscar in 1988. Name is a noun in the genitive case.

Diagnosis. Males of Predatoroonops stani sp. nov. resemble those of Predatoroonops anna Brescovit, Rheims & Bonaldo, 2012 , by the presence of the subdistal apophysis of chelicerae (sa) slightly curved dorsally at its distal end ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ; Brescovit et al. 2012b: fig. 19), but can be distinguished by the presence of basal condyle apophysis of chelicerae (cb) ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ), absent in P. anna ( Brescovit et al. 2012b: fig. 19), large and long triangular subdistal furrow (sf) ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ), narrow in P. anna ( Brescovit et al. 2012b: figs 203–205), and the short, strongly curved retrolaterally, distal apophysis of chelicerae (da) ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ), that is elongated and narrow in P. anna ( Brescovit et al. 2012b: fig. 19).

Description. Male (IBSP 256079). Total length: 2.14. Carapace: length 0.93, width 0.79. Eyes diameter: ALE 0.10, PLE 0.09, PME 0.11, ALE–ALE 0.10. Carapace pale orange, with brown stripes along the margin of cephalic area ( Fig. 1B View FIGURE 1 ), anterolateral corners with sclerotized triangular projections ( Figs 1A View FIGURE 1 , 3A View FIGURE 3 ). Chelicerae brown with lighter and darker regions ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Sternum, endites and labium yellow ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ). Clypeus with tiny setae. Chelicerae anterior face with large triangular median and subdistal furrows ( Figs 1A View FIGURE 1 , 3A View FIGURE 3 ), subdistal apophysis squared, bifurcated at the retrolateral margin and rounded at the prolateral margin ( Figs 1A View FIGURE 1 , 3A View FIGURE 3 ). Opisthosoma dorsum white ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 ). Legs yellow, femur I 0.8 long. Leg spination: femur I v2-2, II v1-1-2; tibia I v2-2-2-2-2, II r1; v2-2-2-2-2, III v1-2, IV d1; r1; v1-1-1-1; metatarsi: I v2-2-2-2, II v2-2-2-2, III–IV v1-2. Male palp slightly sclerotized, cymbium fused with bulb presenting a clear suture in between, bulb burly, shorter than cymbium, subdistal laminar and hyaline process prolaterally, distal slender hyaline process retrolaterally, embolus absent ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ). Coloration, proximal segments yellow; cymbium yellow, bulb whitish-yellow, prolateral process base whitish-yellow, retrolateral process base reddish-brown ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ).
