Telamona stephani
Oak Knob Rd., south of St. Mary, Orange County, North Carolina, USA
September 12, 2010
Size: 5.5 mm
A treehopper captured at a lighted sheet during a collecting trip. A Telamona? Hmm. Looks close to Telamona salvini, compare this image, for example:

(And, see comments below...)
Update on length: body length is actually 5.5 mm, based on photo next to a scale. The original figure of 7 mm included the folded wings.

Someone should move this image soon, see: (1). Can I use this pic on my hopper site though? Thanks! -Kyle

Telamona n. sp.
And it is fine to use my images on your site, with attribution. (Link?)
I added a partial ventral view I had in the files as well.
