I think it's a Polistes. But, what one?

It was bigger than most European Polistes. The same size than Vespula: maybe 2 cm.

It was found dead in a into the Guilin airport.

A friend suggst me Polistes aurifer but this species is North American and very different-coloured.

Somebody can helps me?

Polistes is ok, but for species identification a real specialist is needed. Polistes is a difficult genus, rich in species.
