Amycle
A Fulgorid planthopper (these have very dense venation, and the wings do not overlap as much as in Achilidae). This particular genus is strongly flattened and looks much like a piece of bark.

Sorry, I can't tell you which species. It looks much like A. vernalis, but that species is restricted to the Gulf coast. There are 2 species recorded from AZ (A. pinyonae and A. tumacacoriae).

Planthopper
Maybe start your search with family Achilidae? Something in that vicinity would be my thought.

Good Tip, Thanks!
With Lynette's submission and Andy Hamilton's identification, it would seem that this specimen belongs to the genus Epiptera. Perhaps a species can be determined?
