I do not believe this is Paropsisterna octosignata, described as having 4 spots on each elytron
This only has three and as described "with three red spots, one of which is the largest near the thorax, two placed transversely near the apex"
Though the colour is not red this is probably a yellow morph of Paropsisterna sexpustulata
