Abstract

A new arrangement of the Patagonian lizards of the Liolaemus fitzingeri group is discussed. Three geographical forms are proposed: L. fitzingeri melanops Burmeister North of Rio Chubut; L. fitzingeri canqueli subsp. nov. from the volcanic Meseta Canquel, Central Chubut; L. fitzingeri fitzingeri (Dume'ril et Bibron) from Southern Chubut and Santa Cruz territories. A redescription of L. fitzingeri melanops is given. Populations from Meseta Canquel, formerly considered by the author as L. fitzingeri melanops, are synonymized with L. fitzingeri canqueli subsp. nov.
