Resumen:
A new species of lizard of the genus Liolaemus from southern Mendoza Province, western Argentina, is described. The
new species is a member of the Liolaemus donosobarrosi group, and molecular data show it as sister taxon of L. josei differing
in size, squamation, coloration, and sexual dimorphism. Liolaemus sp. nov. is terrestrial, dwelling on sandy soil in
a shrubby piedmont of small hills, and seems to have low population density.
