CommentHabitat: small rocks, between bushes; ecotonal area between Patagonian Steppe (Erial Patagónico) and Southern Patagonian Monte.

Syntopy: L. darwinii, L. gracilis, L. gununakuna, and L. aff. mapuche, as well
as a teiid lizard, Aurivela longicauda and a gecko, Homonota darwinii. In nearby localities we collected Bothrops ammodytoides, Philodryas patagoniensis and P. trilineata, all are known to eat lizards and are probable predators of L. tirantii.

Diet: arthropods and some plant matter. 
EtymologyTo honor Sergio Igor Tiranti, an enthusiastic biologist, colleague and friend of the authors, who first discovered and collected the species in early 1990 at the type locality, and to his father Ivan Nicolas Tiranti, professor of genetics at the National University of Río Cuarto, Argentina, who helped the first author on its doctoral studies and shared its experiences and friendship in the academic world.
