Genus Pseudolabrus Bleeker, 1862
- Pseudolabrus Bleeker, P. 1862. Conspectus generum Labroideorum analyticus. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1861: 408-418 [413].
Type species:
Labrus rubiginosus Temminck & Schlegel, 1846 by original designation.
Introduction
The molecular phylogenetic studies of Mabuchi et al. (2004) and Westneat & Alvaro (2005) suggested that Notolabrus Russell 1988, is closely related to Pseudolabrus and that separate generic status may not be warranted.
