Andy Hamilton sent me this information today :
Macrosteles quadrilineatus, the aster leafhopper, is a polyphagous pest.
Macrosteles fascifrons is a name formerly (and incorrectly) applied to the above; it is now restricted to a Juncus-feeding species of the Canadian zone.

Macrosteles fascifrons
The aster leafhopper. The long, narrow wings (more than 4 times as long as wide) are characteristic, as are the 4 bars and 2 spots on the head.
