Pseudohaliotrematoides falcatus Yamaguti, 1968

This species was described by Yamaguti (1968) from the gills of Holocentrus spinifer (Forsskål) [now H. spiniferum (Forsskål) ] ( Holocentridae ) off Hawaii. Although this species would comfortably fit in Haliotrema (sensu lato), formal transfer is not made at this time in order to prevent possible unnecessary synonymy upon completion of revisory work on Haliotrema (s. l.). The species is considered incertae sedis.
