A taxonomic family name that historically grouped ammocoetes larvae, though modern classification has reorganized these organisms.
From 'ammocoetes' plus the Latin suffix '-idae,' which is the standard ending for animal family names in biological nomenclature.
When biologists thought ammocoetes were separate creatures, they gave them their own family name—but science corrected this mistake, showing how taxonomy evolves as we understand life better.
