Treehopper - Smilia camelus

Treehopper - Smilia camelus
Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, USA
May 19, 2013
Came to light last night. Only one. Pretty active. Not easy to get a good shot. Measured at least 6mm. I think it's a Treehopper such as Smilia, but S. fasciata or S. camelus?

THANKS!

I'm a beginner
But I recently had #759230 ID'd as S. camelus. I think they are marked the same.

Smilia camelus
more important than the markings is the shape: the crest is vertical in front in this species, and slopes back in the more southerly S. fasciata.
