[Haskell-cafe] What do you call Applicative Functor Morphism?

An applicative functor morphism is a polymorphic function,
eta : forall a. A1 a -> A2 a between two applicative functors A1 and A2 
that preserve pure and <*>:

eta (pure c) = pure c
eta (f <*> x) = eta f <*> eta x

What do you guys call such a thing?  My leading candidate is "idomatic 
transformation".
