From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Renamed Dadaytrema by Travassos,(1931) on the basis that the name had previously been used for protozoa and crustaceans. I cannot trace these taxa, and the Nomenclator Zoologicus only lists the a junior homonym (Dadayia Micoletzky 1922, a nematode genus). Hence, there seems no good reason for Travassos' action, and the Nomenclator Zoologicus lists Dadaytrema as a nom. nov. (in error). DIG [details]
