Green shield bug nymph

Palomena prasina

Notes:

I was thinking at a stink bug nymph, but its antennae are more suited to a leaf footed bug. Any suggestion?

Maybe a "giant shieldbug" nymph, Tessaratomidae. But only 3 species are known from the Neotropics. I do not know the names of those 3 species.
