Cebes transiens
A small treehopper about 8mm long with two front horns and the typical long dorsal cover. This one also seems to have some fungal? growth on it's starboard side?
On stems of Acacia mearnsii in a lcoal nature reserve.
I have found one similar with three horns here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/133...

If I'm right about the species the spots at the top-front under the dorsal cover are ok but not the other larger ones http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2013/02...
As you agree I am adding to your fungal infested arthropods mission.
I agree, Mark, it looks like a fungal infestation, not only in the body side, but also in the right wing and under the dorsal cover.
