Hebetica sylviae is a member of the treehopper family Membracidae. It is found in the eastern United States, first discovered in Murray, Kentucky, with a second sighting in Atlanta, Georgia. It was serendipitously discovered by Laura Sullivan-Beckers in 2016, and described by Sullivan-Beckers with Stuart H. McKamey in 2019. The specific epithet honors Sullivan-Beckers's daughter Sylvie, aged two at the time, who had overwatered her flower bed, exposing members of H. sylviae that had been buried by predatory wasps. Sullivan-Beckers later contacted citizen science website iNaturalist to further document specimens across the United States.
