Gargaphia angulata
The "sharp" angles of the paranota and the fairly short frontal spines on the head distinguish this species, and the host information confirms the ID. Its close relative, G. solani has five long and prominent spines on the head, and also differs by the wider paranota with roundish angles. Thank you for sending host plant information and so many views of Gargaphia, it all helps.

 
Once again,
you are wonderful.
Please double check as I moved the 2013 images as well.
This is so much fun.
Thank you so very much.
