Liolaemus duellmani is a microendemic lizard described from southern Mendoza, Argentina, representing the southernmost  distribution of the Liolaemus montanus species group. The original description was based on a small batch of preserved  material and a juvenile collected alive. Along the years, this poorly known species was rarely collected or observed in the  field, with no additional reports or findings published until a recent description of an adult female which was considered  as a rediscovery of the species. Here, we redescribe the species and describe variation on external morphology, coloration,  and some natural history observations.
