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^[2] resurrected the genus to resolve a dispute among the existing definitions of Opistholebes and Maculifer , which were also described by earlier reports of Yamaguti.
