In human culture
Iluocoetes was described from a holotype was collected by Charles Darwin from under stones and weed so Jenyns combined ilyos, meaning "mud" or "ooze", with koitos, which means "a place of rest" or "bed", to form the generic name. The specific name fimbriatus means "fringed" referring to the row of tubercules on each cheek.
