This is the most delicate one I've seen so far in Colombia

I looks like a flat-backed millipede (order Polydesmida). I likely will not be able to take it much further than that.

It looks a lot like Melaphe cypria even if there are some similar ones in family Xystodesmidae.

Melaphe cypria is endemic to Cyprus in the Mediterranean, and PitterCol's specimen does not look like anything in the family Xystodesmidae...
