Appears to match Paropsisterna decolorata as illustrated at https://sites.google.com/site/paropsisternapages/paropsisterna-x6 . However, P. m-fuscum is confusingly similar.

Hi Kim, with the markings on its back (more visible in photos 3 and 4), isn't this more similar to Paropsisterna sp. ("Ch11" of DeLittle 1979)?
