+==Naming==
+The family is named after its first documented members, the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]. Members all have hides resembling a {{w|cloak}} and burrow under the ground. "Nit" is a name given to {{w|head louse}}, a real-life insect.
+The genus ''Trilobitins''  is in reference to the prehistoric arthropods known as "{{w|trilobite|trilobites}}". Members most resemble horseshoe crabs. In case of the he Cloaking Burrow-nit, it would be a "backwards" horseshoe crab, with its proboscis in the spot of a horseshoe crab's tail, and fake eyes in the spot where the real eyes and face would be on a horseshoe crab.
