Liolaemus is one of the largest radiations of lizards with more than 289 species described. Within the L. fitzingerii group, we find the species L. xanthoviridis, which is distributed in an area around the Montemayor Plateau in the eastern Atlantic coast of Chubut Province, Argentina. However, the actual area of distribution of this species is hypothesized to be larger than recorded so far. Here, we present an updated and general review of the distribution of the species, throughout the Province of Chubut.
