this behaviour shall not be tolerated
Max, i simply refuse to believe you let such stuff rot in your archives for months. I have no idea what this unassuming lace bug is; hope it's not another eurotramp -- but has to be new to the guide at any rate. i'm dying for a nap, will revisit it soon. ♥

Moved from ID Request.

Leptoypha ?
The best fit (of what is already in the guide) seems to be Leptoypha. Perhaps Leptoypha elliptica http://www.dnr.sc.gov/cwcs/pdf/LaceBugs.pdf or less likely Leptoypha brevicornis http://www.sil.si.edu/digitalcollections/bca/navigation/bca_17_02_00/bca_17_02_00showplate.cfm?id=438 ?

Neartica lists
Leptoypha barberi Drake and Ruhoff 1960 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha costata Parshley 1917 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha drakei McAtee 1919 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha elliptica McAtee 1917 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha ilicis Drake 1919 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha mcateei Drake 1921 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha minor McAtee 1917 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha morrisoni Drake 1922 (Leptoypha)
Leptoypha mutica Say 1832 (Tingis)

May be another genus anyway.

Just 25K pictures to go!

Leptoypha costata
There are only two species of Leptoypha that are know to occur in the Northeast, L. costata and L. mutica. This one is L. costata and it's separated from mutica by a more oval shaped body as supposed to parallel-sided and a flattened wing's costal area with a partial double row of areola in comparison with mutica where the costal area is deflexed and replaced by costal margin.

i'm sure yours is none of the above spp., but i can't exclude the genus. bounced the link to Dr Miller, but she hasn't been in touch for quite a while -(
