Anguis laurillardi was named by Lartet (1851). Its type specimen is MNHN Sa 23604, a mandible (Left dentary (neotype, designated by Auge and Rage 2000)), and it is a 3D body fossil.
It was recombined as Pseudopus laurillardi by Klembara et al. (2010).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. Klembara et al. 2010 | Pseudopus laurillardi differs from P. pannonicus and P. apodus in the following characters: (1) anteriormost portion of frontal ornamented shield reaches anterolateral margin of frontal, more posteriorly positioned dorsolateral surface of orbital margin of frontal smooth; (2) lateral margin of frontal straight; (3) sulcus between frontal and frontoparietal shields slightly longer than sulcus between frontal and interfrontal shields; (4) large, laterally extending anterolateral process of parietal table; (5) subdental shelf prominently extending medially and consisting of wide and deep sulcus and massive medial ridge; (6) subdental platform of middle and posterior portion of dentary positioned in mid-height of dentary and teeth dorsally extend only slightly dorsal to crista dorsalis; (7) surrangular process short and ending nearly or completely vertically in large specimens; (8) in internal view, sinus surangularis reaches anteriorly the level of mesiobasal portion of the 2nd tooth from posterior; (9) posterior portion of dentary positioned posterior to the posteriormost tooth short (the length equals the length of two posterior teeth); (10) spina splenialis lies anteriorly to mid-length of dentary in middle sized and large specimens; (11) posterior margin of anterior inferior mandibular foramen formed by splenial. |
