| Comment | Cnemaspis pseudomcguirei bears a striking resemblance to juveniles of the much larger, nearly syntopic C. mcguirei with which it had been previously confused. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet is derived from the Greek “pseudo” meaning “false” or “lie” and affixed to mcguirei to indicate the similarity of Cnemaspis pseudomcguirei to C. mcguirei. |
