Delphacid Planthopper? - Caenodelphax

Delphacid Planthopper? - Caenodelphax
Chandler, Murray County, Minnesota, USA
June 20, 2006
Size: ~2.5mm
Found this little guy on my shirt at a friend's house. Don't quite know if it is some kind of immature hopper or if it is a Delphacid planthopper. Trying to identify some of my collection...you can tell its a dead one from all the hair and dust its collected (even over a couple of months!).

Caenodelphax
The yellow antennae contrasting with the black body is characteristic of the Delphacid genus Caenodelphax. The all-black body and wings suggest C. balli, but if so, this is a new state record. Since it is a male specimen, its identity can be checked by a specialist.

Please contact Andy Hamilton (hamiltona AT agr.gc.ca) for advice on who could check the identity of this specimen.

Probably isn't an immature hopper...
if you look at the wings - they are short, but seem to be quite developed. Nymphs would only have wing pads, but not pads of this size! Other than that, I can't really help with the species ID ... sorry!
