I recently posted another specimen with similar antennae that has been not been able to be ID'd. I think this one and maybe my previous post are symphalans, but I have no idea how to tell or confirm. Any ideas?

Thank you everyone for your help!
I'm going to keep a lookout for more of these and hopefully get some better pics.

I'm going with Scutigerellidae based on the large rounded tergites. Those inflated antennae are interesting, and I wonder if they are a species-specific diagnostic or rather a sexual/seasonal variation. There's a similar thick-antennaed Colombian species profiled here.

Scutigerella?
found this

looks very similar to your beast

wow. so different, and so obviously myriapodan
the antenna looks 'unsegmented' here

fantastic bug, whatever it turns out to be
