Douglas, I found this site in english. It has lots of "families" of stiches with pictures. Maybe you can check and see if any resemble the "olho de formiga. http://www.embroidery.rocksea.org/stitch/. Also, for pictures of the "olho de formiga" http://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/bitstream/1822/6723/1/TES...
Hope it helps!
