Pseudorhabdosynochus sinediscus is a diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of groupers. It has been described in 2007 by Lassad Neifar & Louis Euzet.[1] The name refers to the absence of squamodiscs and is derived from the Latin "sine", indicating absence, and "discus", contraction of "squamodiscus".[1]
The species has been redescribed by Amira Chaabane, Lassad Neifar, and Jean-Lou Justine in 2017 from the type material and additional specimens from Tunisia.[2]
