Abstract

New localities for lizards from the Atacama Desert are reported. A new population of Liolaemus foxi is recorded apart from the Terra typica (ca. 40 kilometers), and is remarkable the difference in body size of these samples. The newly known specimens are smaller.

To the previous records, we add the presence of L. audituvelatus in a place at 280 kilometers toward southwest of the Terra typica. Also L. manueli was found 124 kilometers of the current known localities, but at low altitude.
