pseudogenus

pseudogenus
an artificial assemblage of species for the temporary convenience of treating a particular character or set of characters, e.g. pseudogenera based on the morphology of male claspers in sharks and rays. Pseudogenera have been named but as a means of temporary reference they are not for formal taxonomic use as scientific names
