"Pseudocalotes" was disassociated from "Calotes" by Moody (1980). "Pseudocalotes" is distinguished from "Calotes" in having weak limbs as may be noted in some of the species names "brevipes". It is distinguished from the "C. versicolor" group in having mixed orientation of dorsal scales, and lacking spines on the head. It is distinguished from "Bronchocela" in lacking a cheek skin fold, and in having short weak limbs. They do not have any enlarged compressed set of scales behind the orbit."Pseudocalotes" does not occur west of Sumatra and might occur in the Isthumus of Kra and Myanmar. A speicmen was reported from N.E. India in the past though never verified.
