Aruna, thanks for your ID... I think I am going with the one bayucca suggested, though they are both very similar.
pamsai
thanks bayucca. For some reason I can't save using the link you provided. PN won't accept it.

Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae, Cicadellini, Ladoffa sp., but Ladoffa cavillator not Ladoffa dependens. The markings are slightly different. http://naturalhistory.museumwales.ac.uk/sharpshooters/browserecord.php?-recid=1785
