Theelongatus   -kriegi    complex is one of the most diverse clades of the    Liolaemus    ( sensu stricto ) subgenus of lizards. There are currently 29 species recognized in this group distributed between Chile and Argentina. Based on molecular evidence, there seem to be five main clades nested within this complex: theelongatus   ,leopardinus   ,kriegi   ,petrophilus    andpunmahuida    clades.    Liolaemus   buergeri    and    L.   kriegi   , both of thekriegi    clade, were believed to inhabit the surroundings of the Laja Lagoon, in the Biobío Region of Chile. Moreover, this Chilean population of    L.   kriegi    was recently recognized as an undescribed taxon called “   Liolaemus    sp. A” based on molecular phylogenetics. In this work, we studied these two populations of the Laja Lagoon and provided the morphological diagnosis to describe them as two new species:    L.   scorialis    sp. n.  and    L.   zabalai    sp. n. , previously considered    L.   buergeri    and “   L.   kriegi   /   Liolaemus    sp. A” respectively. Additionally, we identified another population of    L.   scorialis    in the vicinity of La Mula Lagoon in the Araucanía Region of Chile.    Liolaemus   scorialis    differs from almost all of the species of theelongatus   -kriegi    complex by its considerably smaller size. Nevertheless, without molecular data we cannot assign it to any particular subclade.    Liolaemus   zabalai    belongs to thekriegi    clade based on published molecular phylogenies. Finally, we provide some natural history data on both species and we document for the first time the presence of    L.   neuquensis    in Chile from a museum specimen from La Mula Lagoon.
