Draculoides bramstokeri

If you're going to name a critter after the author of Dracula, it had better be a
bloodsucker. This Australian arachnid is known for its fang-like pedipalps, which it uses
to grab and crush prey before sucking out their tasty juices. As an added bonus, this
sucker lives in the darkness of caves.

Balnibarbi (Balnibarbi - Gulliver's Travels)

Another common source of scientific names is Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Oddly
enough, this genus of trilobites gets its name from Balnibarbi, a country where science
is used for foolish ends.

Mustela nigripes Most scientific names are descriptive and this one
fits the black-footed ferret, translating almost exactly to the common name
black-footed ferret.
Mustela is Latin for weasel (hence also the family name of weasel-like
mammals is Mustelidae). The species name, nigripes, comes from
Latin niger for black and pes for foot. There is a proud tradition (hailing
back at least to Ancient Greek) of naming things by their feet that gives us
many scientific and common names from octopus (eight-footed) to
platypus (flat or wide-footed).
