Pseudohemihyalea is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae described by Régo Barros in 1956.

Their forewing coloration has accordingly evolved to light-and-dark lengthwise striping, giving better camouflage among the slim needles of the host plants.

[1] The genus was long included in Hemihyalea when the latter was still unresolved versus Amastus, but seems to be distinct and in fact contain more species than originally believed.

The initial confusion stems partly from the fact that Régo Barros when describing the genus set the type species to be Phaegoptera rhoda, but he had actually misidentified Pseudohemihyalea schausi specimens as P.

[1] The additional species were usually considered a group of the genus Aemilia, but this was long realized to be awkward and possibly wrong.
