Field Notes

Description:

A spider totally white, relatively common where this specimen was found, average size of ~ 3cm. Can be found on the ground but it is more common to find them on the back of the leaves of trees.

Brasil's interior, MG state (region dominated by coffee production).

Notes:

If I could I would suggest that it is a kind of white wolf spider. I think!

I have spotted a common species here similar to your spotting except that my one looks like a huntsman http://images.plurk.com/4gFRNb0lI6s2zZHkmuplJ3.jpg

Yes, I'd love to know too, Chun! They are very common here in my region. I'll see if I can find more about her. Thanks for the feedback, my friend!

Nice spotting, I would love to know the ID of this one. Those eye patterns are unusual, could be very useful for it's identification.
