CommentType species: Acanthodactylus mucronatus BLANFORD 1870 is the type species of the genus Pseuderemias BOETTGER 1883: 118 (footnote). Note that Boettger 1883 mentioned Eremias lineolata RÜPPELL 1845 as the “first” (founding?) member of Pseuderemias. Boulenger 1918 mentions mucronatus as type species.

Gans et al. 1965: 44 present a comparison of the Somali species of Eremias.
