Moved from Free-living Hemipterans. Thanks, Andy, for the ID and info.

Pissonotus albovenosus
A macropterous specimen. Although this species is most readily recognized by the veins on the shortened wings, there are very few species in TX that have a white band across the face, and the only other such species (P. flabellatus) has very broadly expanded front legs.
