Hyalinobatrachium dianae
Which is bunk. There’s, like, a spider species named sonicus hedgehogidae or some shit like that, for the lulz, but heaven forbid we name this guy after his lookalike.
Yeah yeah, rules and conventions, blah blah blah. Some rules need to be broken.

I’m pretty sure that when it comes to newly discovered species the person that discovers it gets to name it which is why we have stuff like sonicus and the Beyonce bee and the Obama insect and stuff like that.
