Nomenclature Originally introduced as a taxon containing the family Valvatidae only. Haszprunar (2014: 3) prefers "Ectobranchia in favor of Valvatoidea, because (1) Ectobranchia is a non-ranked taxon, whereas the ending “-oidea” makes Valvatoidea a superfamily (ICZN Art. 29.2), and
(2) Ectobranchia cannot be confused with Valvatida resp. Valvatacea Blake, 1987
(Echinodermata - Asteroidea), a junior homonym" [details]
