This is definitely not Rhiginia cruciata, nor is it an assassin bug. R. cruciata looks like this: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8184676. The ID I suggested looks to be much closer, and if it's not the same species, I would be surprised if it's in a different genus.
Kind of look like box elder bugs with the orange
