| Sumario: | A new taxonomic status may be supported by significant morphological characters for the populations of the <i>Cnemidophorus lacertoides</i> species group scattered on the eastern embossments of the Sierras de Córdoba, from Tolumba to the Punilia department. The northermost Argentine populations of <i>Cnemidophorus lacertoides</i> Duméril & Bibrón 1839 may be indicated for the Achiras hills west of Rio Cuarto northwards. Beyond the Sierra of Tolumba a dry, Chacoan area, widely colonized by <i>Cnemidophorus ocellifer</i>, appears as an extensive ecological barrier separating our <i>Cnemidophorus</i> sp. nov. from the northernmost populations of <i>Cnemidophorus lacertoides</i> reported by Peracca as <i>C. leachei</i> (1897). |
