Thanks for the details Ben
1 certainly is not P. fulviventris. There are quite a number of yellow and black species - including four in the clypeatus group that require microscopic investigation. It is this group that I would be looking at to start with but I would not venture an opinion - in all likelihood it would be wrong!
