Leafhopper - Graphogonalia evagorata
Bentsen RGV State Park, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA

Must be Graphocephala or closely related, but couldn't find a match. On Turk's cap, Malvaviscus arboreus.

interesting ID
Graphocephala rufimargo doesn't look like this

Consequently, no Graphocephala looks like this.

Perhaps the lateral angle makes it confusing, so here's a perfect dorsal of an individual which I believe to be conspecific from southern Texas:

The other "Graphocephala rufimargo" on bugguide is also consistent in markings.

I see no reason to believe these are anything other than Graphogonalia

Graphocephala rufimargo
This is a new record for the USA, although it is a species widespread in Mexico. Blame it on recent hot weather?

Awesome.
Thanks Dr. Hamilton. Very cool. Is rufimargo in the subgenus Graphocephala?
