CommentBelongs to the Liolaemus elongatus group (fide ESPINOZA et al. 2000).

Núñez (2004) asserted that L. capillitas (Catamarca, Argentina) is a junior synonym of L.pictus major, whose provenance was misapplied; Neither Núñez (2004) nor PINCHEIRA-DONOSO & NUNEZ (2005) examined the types of L. capillitas, which have many character states that are not shared by L. pictus major (LOBO et al. 2010).
