The name used on Toei's page is Kirakiraru Thieves, so that was what we've been going with. They also randomly picked Gummy, Pulupulu, Choucrea and Hotto for those they show several times simply because they appeared in the first four eps.

If they truly wanted to build a compelling villain/hero rivalry, they would have used the ones who like the Cures respective sweets (-Choucrea, +Maquillon +Bitard) for reappearance. That, the lack of profiles and reusing of voice actors makes me think they're just throwaway characters. The only one who really had some sort of character was Gummy, and that was only because he briefly interacted with Pekorin. Maquillon was fun but that was because of the fight with Macaron and the excellent animation in ep. 5.
