Taxonomy On the basis of the principle of priority (Article 23.1 of the ICZN), Unicaecuminae is the senior synonym of Baracktrematidae and Neospirorchinae, and is here recognised at the family level in line with the proposal of Bullard and Dutton (2022) who, however, proposed a new junior synonym at the family group level. The subfamily name as proposed by Mehra (1934) is malformed, as the case ending of the genitive singular was not deleted (see article 29.3 of the ICZN). Here we propose to formally emend the family-level name (as per article 33.2 of the ICZN) and recognise it as Unicaecidae Mehra, 1934 (emend.) [details]
