The genus Liolaemus contains more than 180 species, 58 of which occur in a variety of habitats in Patagonia (Argentina) (Morando et al. 2007; Scolaro 2005). In spite of this, our knowledge on the systematic, ecology, and geographic distribution of Liolaemus lizards is still very scarce. It is necessary to increase the information available on these lizards to improve our knowledge of one of the most speciose genus of vertebrates of America. Here we present new geographic distribution data on a poorly known Patagonian species of Liolaemus.
