Hi Peter,
This is one beautiful Treehopper in the family Membracidae. We have a vague memory of having received an image of this species, or a very similar species, in the past. We will attempt to search our archive to provide a species identification. Just a note that if you provide a comment on this posting, you will be notified in the future if anyone comments or provides an identification. We did locate a matching photo on Corbis Images, but the species is not identified.

Hi,
Posted 13 Feb 2011 at 6:47 pm ¶I have now found images of this and similar species on several sites, which give the genus as Membracis, and this also gives me confidence that my other image (with the nymphs) also shows a Membracis, but I would still like to find which species they are.

I have photographer a quite similar one in Brazil, Northern Pantanal: http://pic.atpic.com/2233582
And I have posted it too. I haven’t find its exact ID either…
