very
Well I guess that's better than "extremely tentatively"!? Unfortunately I don't have the specimen for further examination. If I get to Arizona again I would try to collect some, as it appears they haven't often been reported at least to BG. I possibly saw them in small numbers there on that visit.

collection
would be great. only way to be absolutely certain is through dissection (especially when it comes to the planthoppers of AZ)
