Pseudaxine is a genus which belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes and class Monogenea; all its species are parasites of fish.

[2] Species of Pseudaxine are ectoparasites that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of the fish and grow into adult stage.

This larval stage is called oncomiracidium, and is characterized as free swimming and ciliated.

[citation needed] Pseudaxine resemble Axine in having a single row of 20 – 30 clamps on one side of the body.

However, it differs from Axine in having their hooks situated at the posterior end of the clamp row.
