Enchenopa - Enchenopa on-ptelea-trifoliata
Newburyport, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA

These were with the white masses all over what I assume is a Hoptree (Ptelea trifoliata).

Yes, onptelea
and the white masses are eggs! You should have a good crop next year!

Well...
Enchenopa's right, and the leaves/fruit of the host plant certainly seem to match Ptelea.

Dr. Hamilton has said that hoppers with tentative IDs should be moved into the Guide; he'll correct errors as he finds them. For what it's worth, I'd say go for it (but frass the host plant pic).
