Thanks @HeatherReddig for the sugestion! It really seems to be a good choice. I will check more information about this family in the area...
It's probably a male, going by the enlarged pedipalps.
Look at the cobweb spider family, Theridiidae. They seem to best match your spider's anatomy and markings. This family includes the widow spiders as well.http://bugguide.net/node/view/1960
