The Catalogue of Aru by Bigger & Schoefield (1983) did not provide a species like that. However, there are no many possibilities: it might belong to Stenhomalus.
Have you checked the abdomen?

You`re right Francesco, the abdomen is from a Stenhomalini.

Coming back to this topic, I think that your specimen belongs to the genus Iphra.
