Hi!
It's the Argentina's chromatic form of Lycosa erythrognatha (tarántula o araña de jardín).

Hey! Thank you very much. Someone told me the same, that it could be a Lycosa erythrognatha. Are you completely sure of this?
Anyways, tomorrow I'll post some new pics where it'll be possible to see it better.

Thanks again!

Yes, I kept and bred this species for years. There are different color forms (I watched their genitalia and I didn't notice any big difference between different populations). The Brazilian ones are more reddish on the fangs and the palps, while the Paraguay and Argentina ones are less red.
This species was once named Lycosa rabida, but this name in fallen in synonimy with L. erythrognatha.
You can see a picture of a brazilian female with cocoon here in my site: http://www.anura.it/Fotografia/Wolfspiders_page.htm
