This genus name constitutes a curiosity: the arachnologists Platnick and Brescovit wanted to honor two Argentinians who helped them, Pablo Goloboff and Martín Ramírez. Asked to suggest a name, they proposed "losdolobus", which is drawn from the Buenos Aires argot called Lunfardo and loosely translates as "the morons".
