Pseudopus is a genus of anguid lizards that are native to Eurasia.[1] One extant species remains, the sheltopusik,[2] with four fossil species. They are the most robust members of subfamily Anguinae.[1][3] The oldest fossils of the group date to the Early Miocene, but there are possible Oligocene records.[4]
