Kadenicarpus pseudomacrochele grows mostly singly with light green to darker blue-green, spherical to spherical-cylindrical bodies that occasionally sprout and has a large fleshy turnip root.

[4] Accepted subspecies:[3] It is endemic to Hidalgo and Querétaro states of Mexico.

The first description as Strombocactus pseudomacrochele was made in 1935 by Curt Backeberg.

[5] The specific epithet pseudomacrochele is derived from the Greek word pseudo for 'false' and the similarity to the species Turbinicarpus macrochele.

Alexander Borissovitch Doweld placed the species in the genus Kadenicarpus in 1998.
