Leptomantispa pulchella
Univ. Tennessee Biological Station, near Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
August 10, 2008
Size: 13 mm
Since I have some questions about this one, I'm posting my shots.
Note the orange pterostigma. Same individual as Stephen Creswell's, moved to a different background and length measured:



Dr. Kevin Hoffman, author of genera Dicromantsispa, Leptomantsispa, etc., informs me via e-mail (11/21/08) that these are, in fact, Leptomantsispa pulchella.
