I think cixiid planthopper is correct. I came across the genus Oecleus, with some pictures looking like they might be a match for genus... Thanks, bayucca!

Should be a Cixiidae, at least it looks for me like a Cixiid Planthopper. Not Bothriocerinae, might be Cixiinae, but not really sure. We need an expert for this one... http://bugguide.net/node/view/49219/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/892063/bgpage http://www.boldsystems.org/pics/SSPAA/BIOUG05858-A04%2B1398258216.jpg http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=160797 http://www.naturalista.mx/observations/4105568
