Resumen:
The wiegmannii group of Liolaemus includes L. arambarensis, L. azarai, L. lutzae, L.occipitalis, L. multimaculatus, L. rabinoi, L. riojanus, L. salinicola, L. scapularis, L.wiegmannii, and the species described here. We used sequences of the mitochondrial cyt–b,12S, and ND4, and the nuclear C–mos gene regions to infer the phylogeny of the majorityof the species of the wiegmannii group except L. arambarensis and L. rabinoi. We describea new species that is closely related to L. multimaculatus and L. riojanus, but can bedistinguished by a different dorsal coloration, absence of suprascapular spots, and smallersize. Liolaemus sp. nov. lives in marked geographic isolation with respect to other closelyrelatedspecies of the wiegmannii group.
