== Naming ==
== Naming ==
The family's name, 'polyocular slug', contains the prefix 'poly-', meaning 'multiple', and the word 'ocular', meaning 'eyepiece' or 'connected with eyes or vision'. These words together mean 'multiple eyes', which is in relation to the six eyes that the Bogswallow has. The second word, 'slug', is likely a reference to the [[meerslug family]].
The family's name, ''polyocular slug'', contains the prefix ''poly'', meaning 'multiple', and the word ''ocular'', meaning 'eyepiece' or 'connected with eyes or vision'. These words together mean 'multiple eyes', which is in relation to the six eyes that the Bogswallow has. The second word, ''slug'', describes the type of creatures that reside in the family, as they are {{w|slug}}s.
 
The family's genus, ''Gastropoidulus'', is a portmanteau of ''Gastropoidae'', the genus for members of the [[meerslug family]], and the suffix ''ulus'', a suffix that is used to create genus names and indicates smaller size.


=== Names in other languages ===
The family's genus, ''Gastropoidulus'', can be split up into ''gastropoid'' and the suffix ''ulus''. The first part, ''gastropoid'', is derived from the word {{w|gastropod}}, which are most commonly slugs and snails; In this case, slugs, due to their lack of a shell. The second part, ''ulus'', is a suffix that is used to create genus names and indicates smaller size. Therefore, putting the two words together, we get small slug.
