Parancistrocerus histrio ?
I am fussing about this one. It should be histrio but the yellow bands on the abdomen are unsually strong, and the yellow spots on the pronotum should be more reddish. P. perennis is the only alternative but the shape of sternum 2 does not fit. Provisionally moved to species level.
