The Treehopper

Among the photos I lost to CF corruption were a few of an intriguing insect. I'm unable to pinpoint the species I saw without examining the original photos, but I can say with certainty that it belonged to the family Membracidae, or Treehoppers. I know this because the features I remember most vividly correspond with those of a Treehopper: large, raised pronotum with the wings below, and large eyes.

I believe my specimen could be a member of the genus Platycotis (tribe Hoplophorionini, subfamily Membracinae), or of Vanduzea (tribe Amastrini, subfamily Smiliinae). It could also belong to the tribes Polyglyptini, Smiliini, or Telamonini. As I remember it, the specimen's pronotum had a mottled or streaked green-brown color (like camouflage), while its wings were clear, perhaps reflective of the green of its abdomen. The pronotum did not have a horn, which rules out many species.
