A family of small marine nudibranchs or sea slugs, including the genus Doto.
Scientific Latin family name formed from 'Doto' (genus) + '-idae' (family suffix in taxonomic nomenclature). Follows Linnaean classification conventions.
The suffix '-idae' in zoology always means 'family,' so when scientists see 'Dotonidae,' they instantly know it's a group of related creatures—it's like a universal family tree label.
