Fulgoridae, Pyrops maculatus. According to the link it should be Maculatus not Maculata as mentioned in other links. http://www.flickr.com/photos/32837851@N05/11592360503 http://garytsphotos.zenfolio.com/p715275565/h343E74C0#h343e74c0 Pyrops is masculin, so it is Maculatus. Probably some mixed it up with the synonym Fulgora which is feminin, like Fulgora maculata. http://hemiptera-databases.org/flow/?page=explorer&db=flow&lang=de&card=taxon&rank=genus&id=17300&limit=species
