| Sumario: | Based on detailed examination of the literature, visits to collections and the field, correspondence with specialists and curators, study of detailed photography of living and preserved specimens, and statistical analysis of meristic data, I propose a number of taxonomic and nomenclatural changes for species of the Liolaemus montanus group from the Andes of Bolivia, southern Peru, northern Chile and northwestern Argentina. Liolaemus signifer (Duméril & Bibron 1837) is designated a nomen dubium and Liolaemus multiformis (Cope 1875) and Liolaemus lenzi Boettger 1891 are revalidated. Liolaemus variabilis Pellegrin 1909 and Liolaemus bolivianus Pellegrin 1909 are placed in the synonymy of L. lenzi. Liolaemus pleopholis Laurent 1998 is considered a species inquirenda allied with L. lenzi. Liolaemusannectens Boulenger 1901 is considered a valid species and Liolaemus tropidonotus Boulenger 1902is considered a junior synonym of L. multiformis. Liolaemus pantherinus Pellegrin 1909 is recognized as a valid species that includes L. annectens orientalis Müller 1924and L. multiformis simonsii—Burt & Burt 1931 are included in its synonymy. Liolaemus islugensis Ortiz & Marquet 1987 is removed from the synonymy of L. pantherinus and is placed in the synonymy of L. schmidti (Marx 1960). Liolaemus erguetae Laurent 1995 and L. molinai Valladares et al. 2002 are placed in the synonymy of L. erroneus (Núñez & Yáñez 1984 “1983–1994”). |
