"Phobetor" is a genus of pterodactyloid pterosaur, of the family Dsungaripteridae. Originally described as a species of Dsungaripterus (D. parvus), it was soon recognized as a new genus, and given the name Phobetor parvus. However, the genus name Phobetor had already been used for a fish (Krøyer, 1844), so a new genus name will be assigned for the pterosaur.
