Pseudohalitrematoides lutjanusi Gupta and Sharma, 1982

(5 Pseudohaliotrematoide lutjanusi Gupta and Sharma, 1982 , lapsus.)

Type specimens of this species have not survived (N. Agrawal, personal communication) and the original description is inadequate for generic placement. The species was collected from the gills of Lutjanus lutjanus Bloch (Lutjanidae) and likely belongs to either Haliotrema (sensu lato) or Euryhaliotrema Kritsky and Boeger, 2002 based on the original drawings of the body and haptor. The transfer is not made, however, to avoid possible unnecessary synonyms. The species is considered a species inquirenda.
