Many people consider any 3-SIS chain to be a wing. Examples ...

Code:
Y/XY-Wing: 3-SIS using bivalue(XY), bivalue(YZ), and bivalue(ZX).

W-Wing:    3-SIS using bivalue(XY), bilocation(Y), and bivalue(YX).

M-Wing:    3-SIS using bivalue(XY), bilocation(Y), and bilocation(X).

S-Wing:    3-SIS using bilocation(X), bivalue(XY), and bilocation(Y).

L-Wing:    3-SIS using bilocation(X), bilocation(Y), and bilocation(Z).
           (note: Y==X or Y==Z is acceptable)

H1-Wing:   same as L-Wing
H2-Wing:   3-SIS using bivalue(XY), bilocation(Y), and bilocation(Z).
H3-Wing:   3-SIS using bivalue(XY), bivalue(YZ), and bilocation(Z).

JC's wing is an H2-Wing. The important thing to remember is that not all wings utilize pincer values like the Y/XY-Wing, W-Wing, and M-Wing -- e.g., S-Wing, L-Wing, and Hn-Wings.

However, JC's wing does not have a name ... and neither do other combinations that I'm sure he's capable of creating.

As here, this pattern is an h-wing ... for hybrid wing.

Beyond your list, there is only one more useful wing (with native SIS), and it's also a hybrid wing. There's actually a second, but it has an embedded x-wing, so should remain dormant IMO.
