Ok, done. Tx Ashish.

Thank you all for your help. I ID'd this bug before, but only to the genus level.

My main guide is http://bugguide.net , wich is north america oriented. I still didn't find a realiable brazilian guide. It could be a local bug, the major problem is the white bordered abdomen. I am going to meet an enthomologist soon, in order to ID some of my spotings, then I'll ask him about this one, specifically.
