Marcelo,
The correct targetting of selectors is completely dependent on the
(X)HTML structure of your page. So, without seeing your page, we can't
tell you the correct selector to target the page element you want. All
we can do is guess. I'm going to guesss that the <a> element you want to
target is inside a div with the id myelement? If so, the selector you
want is:
#myelement a:hover
The space denotes that a:hover is a descendant of #myelement. Again,
this will only work for a specific structure, so if I didn't guess your
XHTML correctly, you'll need to provide it for us to provide more help.
Even if I did guess correctly, I strongly suggest you read this article
to gain an understanding of selectors:

You can also use this tool to translate selectors into regular English
(or Spanish):
