Flatid Planthopper - Ormenoides venusta

Flatid Planthopper - Ormenoides venusta
Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
August 29, 2005
Attracted to lights. Flatid based on general shape; could it be Ormenaria rufifascia? I'm basing that guess mostly on color, allowing that some color is hidden by the waxiness. Help with ID appreciated.

Ormenoides venusta
The rounded wing tips are also distinctive.

Somehow, I got the wrong name onto this photo earlier (that's what sometimes happens with names that are similar). Sorry about that! It is not Ormenaria, a species with red stripes on the back.
