Dr. Hamilton, our hopper expert, will be able to say for sure.

Dictyonia
You are right that this is the same species, but it is an undescribed species with longer head and simpler venation than the only known species in this genus (D. obscura). The genus itself is obviously derived from Dictyssa, but this synonymy has not been confirmed yet.

For more information, please contact me at: hamiltona AT agr.gc.ca

Just to clarify...
Both the new post and the specimen I referenced are Dictyonia, but not D. obscura. Is that correct?

EDIT: Having seen the comment on the referenced image, I have created a new page for the undescribed species and moved all three images there.
