I think they are 2 different species.

May be Synonym... http://arthropoda-mexicana.blogspot.in/2012/05/membracis-mexicana-guerin-meneville.html

Good guess, Ashish. But if you look at the shield above the head you may notive that the black parts are separated in Mexicana in Cingulata not. And there are no white parts next to the body in Cingulata. In addition Cingulata seems to be a South American species. Membracis mexicana is safe in my eyes. This one is from Colombia: http://www.flickr.com/photos/roboelman/6154000074/in/set-72157627686046288 Also from Colombia, but not Mexicana: http://www.flickr.com/photos/roboelman/6154000704/ http://robertoelman.photoshelter.com/image/I0000TNxzox3m00g And this one from Arthur from Ecuador with a wrong ID... http://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/4369987103/in/set-72157612250897407 It is also Phyllotropis cingulata not Membracis mexicana.

Wow! What a great spotting!

Is it in Genus..Phyllotropis..? http://www.google.co.in/search?q=Phyllotropis+cingulata&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=_SPLT6GAAozorQf3s427Dg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CEMQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=713 http://globalspecies.org/ntaxa/2366751

His helmet remind me Alexander the great's headgear... fantastic spotting...

This time it was an easy one ;-)...
