Ceratagallia
Tamarix is not a native tree, so that is not one of the hosts of this native leafhopper genus.

Host Tree
Thank you Dr. Hamilton for the ID. I am conducting a survey of tamarisk feeding inverts along the Las Vegas Wash, only sweeping Tamarix sp. So, this specimen was definitley collected off of a Tamarix tree. There were very few other species in the area, perhaps it got blown in or was passing through?
