Thanks Mike, I think you are right- I also think that I see hairs here- more likely C. phytophagica. I don't think I grabbed this one. Feel free to move it if you think there's enough evidence for species, I already messed up on this one once, so will just set it to genus for now.

doesn't look like cassidea
did you collect it? I think I see hairs, whereas cassidea is glabrous. see these images from TX
