Etymology:

The species is named after Izuku Midoriya, the eighth inheritor of "One for All" and the protagonist in the manga series My Hero Academia (Boku no Hīrō Akademia ) by Kōhei Horikoshi. Like its namesake the species is green and difficult to locate in the dense understorey while simultaneously being the most distinct part of the acoustic community (Midori=green).
