You might want to look for Aphrodita longicornis Kinberg, 1855. It is definitely present in your area, but I have not found any pictures of that species yet.

Hi LeonardoMB, Since you mention, in your Habitat notes, that you found these creatures near a river, in an Atlantic Forest Reserve, I think they might be Sea Mice. I will send you a Species ID Suggestion.
