Diagnosis 
CommentLiolaemus chaltin n. sp. differs from L. alticolor from the type locality (Tiahuanaco, Bolivia) in the following ways: this new species has a larger body size; a fragmented vertebral stripe; and a pigmented subocular (white in L. alticolor).

Probably also in Bolivia (fide LANGSTROTH 2005). 
EtymologyNamed after the vernacular name (“chaltin”) used by local inhabitants to specifically refer to these small striped lizards.
