Is this the Chocolate Demon (Ancistroides nigrita)? Thanks for ID confirmation in advance.

There are a couple species which look similar.
Psolos fuligo has some vague underside spots.
Koruthaialos butleri is also rather similar.

Ancistroides nigrita is much larger & the front part of the head bulges (the palpi 2nd segment) so this looks right.

TL Seow:Cheers.
