Pseudatelus is a genus of shield bugs of the family Pentatomidae.

Currently placed in the tribe Halyini,[1] McPherson's overview of the Pentatomoidea suggested it may be better placed into the Memmiini.

[2] Pseudatelus bugs range from 14 to 20 millimetres (0.55 to 0.79 in) depending on the species.

On female Pseudatelus bugs, the abdominal venter is almost entirely covered by a large, hair-covered opaque area.

The long hairs on these areas may accumulate a waxy secretion.
