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.

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! Smile

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