I guess so.
It is certainly Banasa euchlora, but I don't know who came up with "juniper stink bug" as a common name. I'd think "cedar stink bug" might even be more appropriate, if this insect is even worthy of a common name. Official common names tend to be given only to species of economic importance, official state insects, etc).
