Entylia sp.
Pretty Treehopper in two tones of brown, about 5 mm in length. She is sitting on an area of a leaf stem where she has scraped the surface and is laying eggs. Almost a year later, in the very same place I found the next generation on the same plant. The last 4 pictures were taken on August 22, 2015. One is also laying her eggs along the stem of the leaf (5th picture).
Heavy shrubbery along the highway between San Cristobal de Las Casas and Tuxtla Gutierrez, Km. 11.5.

Thank you Sckel, I think you are right about the genus. I didn't find the babies near this adult so I shouldn't say they might be the same. You are right about the spines on Entylia nymphs so I removed the connection. Thanks again.
looks like a female genus Entylia. the babies you have found are similar to bolbonota nymphs. Entylia nymphs are large and have 'thorns' in the abdomen, usually.
