I'm suggesting P. decolorata based on one of the images at Martin Lagerwey's site at: https://sites.google.com/site/paropsisternapages/paropsisterna-x6 , although it's not a perfect match.

This also resembles some Paropsis, e.g. P. charybdis (e.g. CNM #4190846) and Martin Lagerwey's 'sp. 20' (CNM #4368418).
