'''''Pseudocalotes''''' is a [[genus]] of [[Agamidaelizard]]s in the [[Family (biology)|agamidfamily]] [[lizardAgamidae]]s. The genus is [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Southeast Asia]].

''Pseudocalotes'' was disassociated from the genus ''[[Calotes]]'' by [[species:Scott Michael Moody|Scott Michael Moody]] in (1980). ''Pseudocalotes'' is distinguished from ''[[Calotes]]'' in having weak limbs, as may be noted in one of the [[species]] named ''brevipes''. It is distinguished from the ''[[Calotes versicolor|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. ''Pseudocalotes'' species do not have any enlarged compressed set of scales behind the orbit.

''Pseudocalotes'' does not occur west of [[Sumatra]] and mightmay occur in the [[Isthmus of Kra]] and [[Myanmar]]. A specimen was reported from N.E.northeastern [[India]] in the past though never verified.
