Pseudiberus is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Camaenidae,^[2] inhabiting in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and Shanxi Provinces.^[3] Platypetasus Pilsbry, 1894^[4] was previously considered as synonyms of Pseudiberus,^[5] however Zhang et al. (2024)^[3] corrected it via phylogenetics based on morphology and molecules.

Distribution

These terrestrial snails inhabit Eastern Asia.
