appears to be Cacopsylla striata (Patch, 1911)
These birch psyllids are quite tricky - all are yellowish in color with elongate female terminalia, but after careful review of your psyllid as well as Steve Nanz's's conspecific psyllid (also from Maine in August), the structural characters suggest that this is probably the native Cacopsylla striata and not the introduced palearctic Chamaepsylla hartigii, which has slightly shorter antennae and slightly different female genitalia, among other things. Patch originally described this species from Orono, Maine from Betula sp.
