Hmm...
These (the nymphs, especially) resemble the Lantana Treehopper, Aconophora compressa. I gather that it's native to Mexico, but most of the pics on the Web seem to be from Australia, where it has been introduced as a biological control agent. Anyway, I wonder if yours might be something in this neighborhood.

I'll be interested in seeing what Dr. Hamilton has to say.
