Abstract

Choanostoma Yamaguti, 1934 was established for Choanostoma plectorhynchi Yamaguti, 1934 (Trematoda: Opecoelidae). The generic name Choanostoma, however, is a junior homonym of Choanostoma Wang, 1930 (Ciliophora: Haptorida: Didiniidae), and we propose a new replacement name, Choanotrema nom. nov.
