Abstract

A new Liolaemus lizard species, belonging to the archeforus group is described for the Chilean Andean Patagonian areas. This species can be differentiated from the other species of the group because it is smaller, has smaller scales, and it has a different dorsal pattern. Climatic conditions are discussed as important to the radiation of this complex, and we propose a Pliocenic origin for these lizards.
