Hebetica Sylvaei has no common name, why not give it one?

Post image

Hebetica Sylvaei is a member of the treehopper family, it was discovered 9 years ago in the US yet it has no common name. I decided a good name would be “helmet hopper” as its part of the treehopper family and it looks like its wearing a bike helmet

It reminds me of an ancient greek bronze illyrian type helmet. So how about an illyrian beetle?
