CommentSynonymy: According to NÚÑEZ & JAKSIC 1992, all subspecies are invalid and synonymous to Liolaemus nigroviridis.

LOBO (2001) suggests the following monophyletic species groups within Liolaemus: alticolor, altissimus, gravenhorstii, hellmichi, kriegi, leopardinus, monticola, nigromaculatus, nigroviridis, pictus and tenuis. 
EtymologyNamed after Latin nigro, be black; make black + Latin viridis, fresh, green. (Esteban Lavilla, pers. comm., April 2024)
