It sort of looks like Diemenia rubromarginata but has no trace of red on the edges so maybe it's not. Hmm...

Hmm not assasin, no probiscus (?). Looks like a coreid bug.. Rhopalidae has this colouring and the red eyes. Maybe one of the leptocoris that are ground dwellers. Will keep looking!

Matches Melanerythrus mactans, but lacks the white spot on it's back.
