Antonio, I believe these are an Amblyonychus sp. (assuming the claws are blunt, which they appear to be in this photo). This American, mainly neotropical, genus is very similar to the huge, world-wide genus Promachus (which all have sharp claws).

Probably this submission does belong in a separate thread; nice photo!

Cheers, Eric
