Leafhopper - Graphogonalia evagorata

Bentsen RGV State Park, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
July 29, 2012
Size: ~5 mm

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
https://naturalhistory.museumwales.ac.uk/sharpshooters/browserecord.php?-recid=604
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?
