A new species of Liolaemus (Sauria: iguanidae) from the andean mountains of the southern Mendoza volcanic region of Argentina

In the course of field research in South America, William E. Duellman and his associates obtained specimens of an undescribed iguanid lizard in the Paso El Choique area in southern Provincia de Mendoza, Argentina. A careful comparison of these lizards with other Argentine iguanids revealed that the...

description In the course of field research in South America, William E. Duellman and his associates obtained specimens of an undescribed iguanid lizard in the Paso El Choique area in southern Provincia de Mendoza, Argentina. A careful comparison of these lizards with other Argentine iguanids revealed that the new species is a member of the widespread, Andean-Patagonian genus Liolaemus; however, it is easily distinguished by a significant combination of several morphological characters from its congeners. In recognition of the discoverer of this new iguanid, it herewith is named after Dr. William E. Duellman, who has advanced so appreciably field and taxonomic studies on the herpetofauna of South America.
