Resumen:
Two new species of the lineomaculatus clade of the Liolaemus lineomaculatus section are described from southern Patagoniain Argentina. Liolaemus morandae sp. nov. is found in S Chubut province and Liolaemus avilae sp. nov. inhabitsNW Santa Cruz province. Several tests were performed to diagnose these new species as distinct lineages. Univariate analysisof variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA), discriminant function analysis (DFA), non-parametricmultivariate analysis of variance (NPMANOVA), as well as a genetic characterization through molecular analysis of variance(AMOVA) were performed; genetic distances between described and these new species are reported. The new Liolaemusspecies differ from other members of the lineomaculatus group in morphometric, meristic, qualitative and geneticcharacters; moreover they inhabit different phytogeographical provinces and districts. With these descriptions, the numberof species now recognized in the lineomaculatus section is twenty one (including one more description that is in press).
