Bactericera maculipennis (Crawford, 1910)
A beautiful species; refer to Tuthill (1943) for species description and illustration of wing venation (fig 270); note especially the angulate forewings, the enlarged irregularly-shaped cubital cell, and of course the maculation pattern which is distinct. Also note the brownish color, long antennae, and head with flat vertex and small genal processes.

Host data is a bit cloudy: Hodkinson (1988) records the host as Convolvulus; Percy et. al (2012) mentions that adults have been collected from Solanum xanti; and Tuthill states that it has been recorded from 'numerous plants'. The species has been positively recorded from California and Utah, and it possibly occurs throughout the western US.

Hopefully seven years isn't too long of a wait for an ID!

Looks to be a Psyllid
but you'll have to wait for an expert to find out which one. See here
