From sweep-netting in a field in a Houston, TX, on July 22, 2012. I believe it's Ceratobarys eulophus, but would like confirmation or correction, please.

Is there any apical spur on the hind tibia? I can't see from your pictures clearly!!

I don't have the specimen, but here is a photo of the left hind tibia.

in this photo, you can barely see the apex of the right hind tibia, peeking out from below the abdomen.

If I be correct I see a spur on the tip of hind tibia in your third pic, I think you are right about species! :)

A question was raised just now about the genus ID:

Any thoughts?

I bow to Terry Wheeler's superior knowledge of Chloropidae in your part of the world. :)
