What am I? - Pissonotus

What am I? - Pissonotus
My back garden, Baltimore City County, Maryland, USA
June 15, 2008

Moved

Dare
I venture a tentative guess of Pissonotus?

 
Pissonotus
Yes, a long-winged form.

Delphacidae.
Pretty certain this is a planthopper in the family Delphacidae (note large, swollen basal antennal segment, one hallmark of the family). Might be something new to the guide, though.

 
Does
it help to know I observed it on Oenothera biennis?

 
hosts
Not really - few in this genus have known hosts, and certainly not garden plants.

 
Maybe?
I don't know, I'm so 'not' an expert on delphacids:-) Might very well help Andy Hamilton, though, if the image alone isn't enough.
