摘要

In a recent study of the subfamily Lecithasterinae, we proposed a new genus to accommodate a new species and several previously described species. It has been brought to our attention that the new genus Opistholecithum Vainutis & Voronova, 2025 is a junior homonym, with Opistholecithum Baer, 1970 having priority. We here erect a new genus Alloopistholecithum n. g. to distinguish it from the dicrocoeliid genus Opistholecithum Baer, 1970. Eleven new combinations were provided. Additionally, we clarified the geographic distribution for Alloopistholecithum sandugaense (Vainutis & Voronova, 2025) n. comb.
