Was this taken on birch?
Maybe a longshot to ask, given that it's been nearly a decade since you photographed it. I suspect this may be Chamaepsylla hartigii, which would be a new genus for the guide, but it's tough to be sure from just this photo.

 
Too long ago
If it would help, I could go back in my files and upload a larger image file to give more detail.

 
Couldn't hurt

Hopefully this shows a little more detail than he original post.

Psyllidae
I have seen this one before - it might be in the collection, or out on loan.

 
New one for me
I haven't seen this type of Psyllid before. The other day I collected a couple of the Calophya nigripennis.
