Allobenedenia is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, included in the family Capsalidae. [1] [2] All species in this genus are parasitic on external surfaces of marine teleosts. [3]

According to Yang et al., (2004) [3] species of Allobenedenia are characterised by a haptor with 5 radial loculi formed by 5 radial septa; the central loculus is usually absent.
