Pseudoheterolebes
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Platyhelminthes
Class:	Trematoda

Family:	Opecoelidae
Subfamily:	Opistholebetinae
Genus:	Pseudoheterolebes Yamaguti, 1959

Pseudoheterolebes is a genus of trematodes in the family Opecoelidae. After having been originally described, it was largely ignored by other scientists due to the originally vague definition of the genus; Martin et al., 2018 resurrected the genus to resolve a dispute among the existing definitions of Opistholebes and Maculifer, which were also described by earlier reports of Yamaguti.
