Checked this one against the leafhoppers in the guide and didn't have much luck. Can someone narrow it down a little for me?

well narrowed down :)
I would call that "narrowing it down a little". :) Thanks very much, Dr. Hamilton. Interestingly enough, we happen to have two very large mint plants on the other side of the yard from where I photographed this leafhopper.

I noticed that you (or someone) put it under hemiptera. I know it's not a very good photo, but should I put it under genus Eupteryx?

Thanks again,
Kevin
