Sergio, Phiale bulbosa is most probably not found in Brazil! Syntype is from Panama.

Ok, Juan, I checked and it seems that there are several color variations for this spider - including black and white!. I'll take the ID Chun provided, for I think they are the same species.

Beautiful Spider! the pictures are awesome, the last two are as if the spider was asking a question.
At first glance I thought it was a velvet ant, then the legs where too many.
