By the way, the markings seem to be different from Ormenis erminia (or Adexia erminia).

I checked the WTB links and the illustration in BCA and I think yours could indeed be Doria conspersa. But the link of WTB might be wrong. I would say that that one is Ormenis erminia or now Adexia erminia. I put a comment there and hope somebody can verify my thoughts... Can you make a crop of ours to see the details on the wings. I am not sure if there really is a very fine line, which would make yours also a candidate for being Adexia erminia. http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2011/06/17/museum-specimen-flatid-planthopper-needs-identification/#comment-1238066 http://www.whatsthatbug.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/flatid_specimen_manchester_museum.gif
