Naming[edit]

The family's name comes from "fuzz", referring to members of the family and their fuzzy abdomens, while "buzz" likely comes from the appearence of members, which resemble bees. The Japanese name translates to cotton dropping family, which is pretty self explanatory.

The genus Melissans comes from the Greek word melissa, which simply means "bee".
