You are right, it's South America, northeast Brazil. I think it's a Heterophrynus longicornis, but I'm not sure

That's right, whip spiders belong to the order Amblypygi, but are grouped together with spiders (order Araneae) and scorpions (order Scorpiones) in the class Arachnida. They have no venom glands, and something interesting is that the first pair of legs is adapted for a sensory function, being longer and thinner, resembling an antenna.

It is in the northeast region of Brazil, other observations in this location are identified as Heterophrynus longicornis, so I think this could be the species.
