Found these today on my "Potato Vine" Solanum crispum. There were about 5 of them on the berries sucking the juices. I saw a matching photo on the guide - but it wasn't identified...

Arvelius albopunctatus - Tomato Stink Bug
Got a reply from the Entomology & Nematology Dept. at
University of Florida who ID'd this bug as:

Arvelius albopunctatus, the tomato stink bug.  It is a plant-feeder, with hosts including tomato, potato, sweet potato, green beans, sunflower, pepper, eggplant, okra, and soybean.
