Psyllidae: Calophya nigripennis
Probably on Rhus glabra.

Moved to order
Andy Hamilton says these definitely are not leafhoppers, so I moved them to the order until we resolve the proper identity.

. Please return and take some images of the plant they are on so we can identify the host plant species.

maybe Psyllidae
In one group of plants there were about a dozen of these spread out in ones and twos, mostly two like these. I couldn't find enough about Psyllidae to figure out much, so hopefully Andy Hamilton can figure this out. Thanks Stephen.

Host plant
Tomorrow I'll be in the area I found these, and get a shot of the host plant. I'll then post it linked up to this picture.
