Hi

This photo was granted by a friend of mine: Artour from Panama. He is a marine biologist (expert on Crustacea).
This time I'm pretty sure about the family and maybe about the possible species: spectacular Diopsidae - Richardia telescopica. Anyone disagree?

IT SEEMS that Richardia belongs to the Richardiidae family. awkward
Platystomatidae with those stalked-eyes?

Diopsidae would have the antennae near the tips of the stalks.
