Distribution: Argentina.


Liolaemus alticolor

Brilliant Smooth-throated Lizard

Brillanz-Erdleguan

Brillans-glatstrubeleguan

1909 Liolaemus alticolor Barbour

Remarks: Now restricted to Bolivia and Peru (Lobo & Espinoza 2004). These authors referred records from Chile to puna, but they were subsequently regarded as barbarae (Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez 2005; Pincheira-Donoso, Scolaro & Sura 2008), making puna endemic to Argentina. Previously included lativittatus, walkeri and a number of populations now described as separate species.
Distribution: Bolivia, Peru.


Liolaemus andinus

Andean Smooth-throated Lizard

Andes-Erdleguan

Andes-glatstrubeleguan

1895 Liolaemus andinus Koslowsky

Remarks: Now restricted to Chile (Abdala, Díaz Gómez & Langstroth 2021). The species has a long history of confusion, due to the lack of precise information about the type locality and the loss of the type material. At some point the species was even restricted to Argentina (Troncoso-Palacios 2014). Abdala, Díaz Gómez & Langstroth (2021) assigned a neotype and restricted the type locality to Laguna Verde, Atacama, Chile. Previously regarded as a synonym of multiformis (e.g., Peters & Donoso-Barros 1970), and also confused with signifer (Cei 1993), now considered a nomen dubium. Revalidated by Laurent (1982). Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez (2005) regarded poecilochromus, and schmidti as a synonym of andinus, but this was rejected by Lobo, Espinoza & Quinteros (2010).
Distribution: Chile.
