Origin & History

Modern Latin Necturidae, from the type genus Necturus (Greek-derived elements: nēktos ‘swimming’ + oura ‘tail’) + the zoological family suffix -idae.

आधुनिक लैटिन Necturidae, जो प्रकार वंश Necturus से बना है (ग्रीक मूल तत्व: nēktos ‘तैरना/तैरने योग्य’ + oura ‘पूँछ’) तथा प्राणी-विज्ञान में कुल सूचक प्रत्यय -idae के साथ।
