[3] Species of this genus are distributed from southeastern Egypt (Gebel Elba region) along coastal regions of the Red Sea in Sudan to Eritrea, eastern Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia and northern Kenya.

Pseuderemias are small to medium-sized dorso-laterally compressed lacertids with very narrow snouts.

On the back there are usually some creme or whitish stripes and/or dots which are arranged in longitudinal lines.

[3][4][5] Only one species (P. mucronata) reaches north to Egypt and inhabits along the Red Sea coastal dunes and sandy plains with fairly good vegetation cover.

[5] Other species are distributed in low-lying, arid Somali-Masai Acacia-Commiphora deciduous bushland and semi-desert shrubland vegetation in eastern Africa.
